Paige O'Flynn had everything she'd ever wanted: a wonderful fiancé, a dream cabin in the woods, and a never-ending stack of bedside novels. But when her fiancé leaves her for their real estate agent, Paige's plans for her future go up in smoke.

Fortunately, she still has her eponymous bookshop, Pages, her best friend, Jo, and the world's most delectable bakery within walking distance to keep her from drowning in a black hole of self-pity.

Then, in a comically bizarre turn of events that Paige feels was lifted right out of one of her novels, she is repeatedly dropped into the lap - sometimes literally - of Silvercreek's newest resident heartthrob, Shayne Donovan. Shayne has joined Jo's ranch as a seasonal hire, and suddenly Paige has even more reasons to hang around her best friend's house.

Paige has never experienced an attraction so all-consuming before, and it's impossible to ignore, especially when Shayne seems to magically appear around every corner. But is it fate...or something more sinister? When a terrible tragedy suddenly befalls Jo, Paige finds herself questioning whether or not Shayne is who he says he is. Can she protect her oldest and dearest friend while still following her heart?
