Lily is beautiful, successful, and financially independent. Life couldn’t be better—until it somehow does. When she inherits a mysterious old house nestled in the Vermont countryside, Lily sees it as just another stroke of good fortune. But what begins as a dream home renovation quickly becomes something far more complex.
With the help of a smoldering contractor and under the spell of an attentive Italian professor, Lily must choose between the life everyone expects her to live and the truth her heart—and the house—are trying to reveal. As secrets from the home’s past begin to surface, Lily is forced to confront her own desires, fears, and the raw vulnerability of falling deeply in love.
Can she follow her heart, even if it means defying logic and convention?
