About this audiobook
THE BOOKSHOP ON MAPLE LANE
She came to sell the bookshop.
She didn't plan to fall in love with the town.
She absolutely did not plan for him.
Grace Cooper has exactly three weeks, a dwindling savings account, and a plan that cannot afford to fail. When she inherits her estranged great-aunt's crumbling bookshop in the small Vermont town of Maplewood Falls, she sees one thing: a way out. Assess it. List it. Sell it. Get back to her real life in Boston before November does anything dramatic with the weather.
What she does not see coming is Beckett Stone.
Infuriating. Immovable. Unfairly attractive in the way of men who have never once tried to be. Her next-door neighbour and the owner of the most beloved coffee shop on Maple Lane, Beckett has been quietly trying to purchase her building for two years. He has a standing offer, a very good reason, and absolutely no intention of making Grace Cooper's stay in Maplewood Falls comfortable.
What neither of them anticipates is that the closer they get, the harder leaving becomes.
Because Maplewood Falls is not just a town. It is the kind of place that gets under your skin before you have noticed it is trying. It is Mae's diner and her inexplicable pie. It is Walter, the retired English teacher who sees straight through you. It is a reading group that fills the back room on Tuesday evenings and a farmers market that knows your coffee order by week two.
And it is a bookshop that smells of cedar and old paper and something Grace cannot name but has been looking for her whole life.
The longer she stays, the more the plan unravels. The ordering form she was not supposed to fill out. The amber lamp she leaves on even when she is not in the room. The way Beckett says her name — just once, in Chapter Seventeen — like it is a door he has finally decided to open.
Grace has spent twenty-eight years not belonging anywhere. She knows exactly how to leave.
The question is whether Maplewood Falls will let her.
