A GILMORE GIRLS MEETS SCHITT'S CREEK REDEMPTION ROMCOM
Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a breakup drives her straight into writer's block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, she's hiding from the world behind a wall of old takeout containers until her publisher lays down the law. If she misses her next deadline it's The End.
Desperate for inspiration, Hazel impulse-buys a historic home online and flees Manhattan to tiny Story Lake, PA. Upon her dramatic arrival - involving an incident with a bald eagle - she discovers the charm of her new home may have been slightly exaggerated.
The house is a wreck and the town is struggling after their biggest employer shut down. Also, since her raccoon-infested home came with a seat on the town council our introverted heroine is stuck with a front row seat to all the small-town shenanigans.
But Hazel isn't worried. Not since all six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor Campbell Bishop slapped a bandage on her forehead and unintentionally inspired the heck out of her. There's only one thing to do: Hire Cam and his equally gorgeous brothers to renovate her new spider museum ... er ... house.
Okay, two things. A fake date for 'research purposes' will really put her work-in-progress on track. Before Hazel knows it, she's writing a romance novel and living one. At least until the drywall dust settles, the town she's falling in love with faces bankruptcy and growly Cam remembers why he can't live happily ever after.
Author's note: This series is my love letter to every reader who said they wanted to move to a fictional town...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Score (Things We Never Got Over) shines in this endearing tale of second chances. Bestselling romance novelist Hazel Hart is spiraling after a difficult divorce and is perilously close to losing her publishing contract due to multiple missed deadlines when she impulse-buys a historic home in tiny Story Lake, Pa., sight unseen. Small-town life is an adjustment for the cosmopolitan Manhattanite, and she sticks out like a sore thumb among the locals, especially grumpy contractor Cam Bishop, who Hazel hires to refurbish her dilapidated home. As handsome and kindhearted as he is gruff, Cam provides the perfect inspiration for Hazel's next romantic hero and the more she writes about him, the more she falls for him in real life. Their connection is adorable—but when Hazel's detestable ex comes to town, he threatens their happy ending. Supporting characters—including an ornery bald eagle named Goose by the locals, and the town's teenage mayor—add considerable color and comedy, and despite the hefty page count the zippy plot never drags. By turns hilarious, heartwarming, and life-affirming, this lively tale may be Score's best yet.
