After leaving her old life behind, Y/N Hart moves to the quiet mountain town of Ash Creek to start over as a fifth-grade teacher. Mason Carter is the town’s beloved fire chief — respected, dependable, and completely convinced love is no longer meant for him. He’s a single father. She’s his daughter’s teacher. They’re supposed to keep things simple. But between school events, small-town gossip, late-night conversations, and two kids who notice everything, Y/N slowly becomes part of the Carter family. And Mason has to decide if he’s willing to believe that after everything he’s lost, he might still deserve something good. Because sometimes the person who changes your life isn’t the one who arrives with fireworks. Sometimes they’re the one who feels like home.
