A city girl leaves her life behind in LA to start over in a small town...

It's a cliché, but it's also Amelia Taylor's life. And her new life as a romance novelist and motelier is going great--until Nathan Hart checks in.

Of course he's disastrously handsome, thoroughly disagreeable, and seems to be set against Amelia on sight. Of course there's smoldering tension between them that can't be ignored. They'd make the perfect enemies to lovers story. It's one of Amelia's favorite tropes.

But the man in room 32 seems genuinely broken, and it's going to take more than romance tropes and wishful thinking to get past his wounds. As a tentative friendship grows into a deeper connection, Amelia and Nathan both realize that facing each other's painful secrets takes courage. Do they dare take the risk and hope it ends happily after all?
