Almost Home

A Chicago Romance

De: Katrina Alice Rose

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She came back to Chicago to hide. She never expected to find home.

After seven years chasing success in New York, interior designer Violet Harper returns to her hometown with a broken heart, a stalled career, and a single suitcase. She plans to stay just long enough to pick up the pieces and leave again.

Then her apartment floods in the middle of the coldest winter in years, and she's forced into the only open space in the city: a century old brownstone owned by Jack Donovan, a quiet structural engineer who has spent four years restoring the building room by room. He lives upstairs. She lives downstairs. He's happiest with blueprints and silence. She's creative, impulsive, and incapable of leaving anything unfinished.

But somewhere between the coffee he leaves outside her door every morning and the Sunday breakfasts that become their favorite ritual, Violet starts to realize that home isn't a place you run to. It's a person you stay for.

When career offers pull them in opposite directions, they both make the same mistake: they try to protect each other by letting go. Now Violet has to decide if coming home means finally having the courage to stay.
