Kian Carter is stuck in a rut. A successful lawyer in his parents’ New York City office, he’s sick and tired of their greed, their lifelong insistence on putting their powerhouse practice above all else—including Kian and his siblings. So he does what he should have done long ago, what his brother and sister did…Kian turns his back on law. Quitting the firm and moving back to the only home he’s ever known, quiet Moose Village in Upstate New York.
Not much ever changes in the tiny town in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Or so Kian thought. But this time, there’s one big difference: Moose Village is playing host to a mystery woman. And she happens to be working at his aunt’s bakery. Lovely Cadie Waterford is the talk of the town gossips, as much for her luscious banana bread as her unwillingness to talk about her past.
Kian’s not normally one to engage in gossip…but the more time he spends with Cadie, the more intrigued he becomes. Whatever her secrets may be, he’s sure he can handle them—but when words like FBI, CIA, and even murder come into play, does Cadie need more protection than Kian thought?
Or does Moose Village need protection from Cadie…?

Go one-click this one it's more than worth trading your morning coffee ☕️ for
Cadie wants to start over. Completely over. So she drives and ends up in Moose Village.
Kain is done with the rat race life he never wanted anyway so he returns home to Moose Village to follow his dream
From there our story begins
This was a well-paced, slow-burn romance shrouded in a bit of a mystery when it came to Cadie's past (pretty exciting stuff when it is revealed)
There is some light excitement here and there
All the small-town drama you expect
The aches of negative parental units
Family bonds
As well as some surprises that I didnt see coming
Don't worry none of the drama is overly daunting - just that light annoying stuff that can leave you walking away with a sigh, or a smile
It has a Happy ever after or two
It is one of those that once you start you forget you are in a fictional world. Easily attaching to the characters, I found myself cheering them on or wishing for their demise sometimes both :)
When it came to Kian and Cadie, they just fit.
The undeniable spark between them. How natural their progression felt.
"Lord, this was like a soap opera. Or a train wreck. Maybe it was a little bit of both"
Kian's 'rents need to stay in their own lanes.
Opal is just the sweetest, she deserved her HEA
Sally is just the best surrogate for everything
And the gossip chain queen(s) - I am excited to see how that little war plays out
Great start to the series. An engaging storyline that is easy to fall into with a cast that will steal your heart
