Four women. One mountain town. Four different routes to the same discovery.
Tough Love
Mia has spent five years as a divorce lawyer at her father's firm, watching people who once promised each other forever fight over everything. Then her parents pull her off her first vacation in eight years to look after her grandmother's cabin up the mountain. Gran turns out to be nowhere near as frail as advertised, and remarkably resourceful about finding reasons Mia needs to be around Nate. She came out of obligation. Staying is a decision only she can make.
Recklessly in Love
Joanie got herself fired on purpose. She goes to Alpine Ridge for the holidays to work out what comes next, and finds a community center director uninterested in being impressed by her plus a town with no budget, no protections, and a council that keeps voting down every attempt to incorporate. Which is interesting, because Joanie is a lawyer. And unincorporated towns don't have town councils. Together, they risk upending everything.
Unscripted Love
Carrie has always been the dutiful daughter. Then she asks her parents for one thing and finds out exactly what their love has been contingent on. She arrives in Alpine Ridge with a master's in political science and no plan, and runs straight into Evan — sixteen years an action star, tired of living one invented story away from unemployable, and in town for his brother's wedding. Neither of them has any idea who they are when nobody's watching. They’re about to find out.
Elusive Love
Rae is forty-six and has made her peace with how things turned out. Meanwhile, everyone in Alpine Ridge remembers how it ended with Luke thirty years ago: he got another girl pregnant, then he left. Now he's back as the town's first fire chief, raising his daughter alone — and with no idea what this place has believed about him for three decades. What his father let them believe. Some second chances are about forgiveness. This one is about the truth.
