A small lakeside town, a woman escaping her own history and a man who has not spoken to anyone in years: Mia Sheridan builds the romance slowly out of those pieces.
The novel gives both characters their own damage and lets trust arrive at the pace that damage allows. Scenes stay domestic, made of repairs, meals, walks and small disclosures, and the emotional payoff depends on accumulation rather than on incident.
What to expect:
• A slow-burn contemporary romance set in a quiet lakeside town
• Two central characters whose past injuries shape how the relationship moves
• Emotional beats built from everyday scenes instead of dramatic reversals
• A standalone story, with no earlier book needed before starting
Written for adult romance readers who prefer emotional depth to fast plotting, available in English at Boipoka.
