The Hartwood Chronicles: When Yesterday Finds Tomorrow: A Second-Chance Small Town Romance Novel
Opulenex Studio
Twelve years ago, Olivia Bennett left Hartwood, Virginia—and Nathan Cole—behind to chase her architectural dreams in Manhattan. She built the successful career she'd always wanted, but success came at a price: loneliness, burnout, and a nagging emptiness no amount of professional achievement could fill.
Now her grandmother's death forces her back to the small mountain town she swore she'd never return to.
But there's a catch. To inherit her grandmother's estate, Olivia must live in Hartwood for one full year. One year in the town that feels too small for her ambitions. One year living next door to Nathan—the man whose heart she shattered when she chose her dreams over their love.
Nathan Cole never left Hartwood. He's built a beautiful life as a master furniture craftsman, raising his eleven-year-old daughter Emma alone after her mother abandoned them both. He's moved on. Or so he tells himself.
Until Olivia walks back into his life, and suddenly twelve years of carefully constructed walls come crashing down.
As autumn transforms the Shenandoah Valley into a masterpiece of gold and crimson, Olivia and Nathan must confront the past they've been running from.
Can a love that was left unfinished find its way to a second beginning? Can Olivia discover that the life she abandoned might be exactly the life she needs? And can Nathan risk his heart—and his daughter's—on a woman who left once before?
