What The Heart Wants

Hearts of Lavender Hills

Sometimes what the heart wants is where you least expect it.

After the loss of her beloved Aunt Cora, Harper Lane returns to Lavender Hills planning to sell the charming craft store she inherited and head straight back to her fast-paced life in New York. But as she starts preparing the shop for sale—and the town’s beloved Spring Fair—Harper finds herself drawn to both the tight-knit community that was her aunt's world, and to Ethan Brooks, the quietly compelling local craftsman who was always there for Cora.

Ethan knows better than to fall for another city girl—especially one with one foot out the door. He’s been burned before. But Harper is different. Something about her calls to him despite her guarded heart. She’s warm, creative, and more vulnerable than she lets on. As they work side by side restoring the shop for its final season, what begins as reluctant collaboration blossoms into something neither expected.

When a prestigious art opportunity beckons Harper back to New York, she faces an impossible choice. Lavender Hills has awakened something in her soul, but can she truly build a life with a man who fears loving another city girl—especially when her dreams might lead her away from the home she never knew she needed?
