Dr. Lila Harper escaped Boston's academic battlefield, her career in ruins and her heart guarded, seeking refuge in Willow Creek, Montana's starry skies. Her goal: revive a rickety telescope for the town's Starlight Festival and salvage her confidence. But a charming carpenter and his starry-eyed daughter have other ideas.
Ethan Cole, a widower raising precocious Mia, swore off love after loss. Yet Lila's sharp wit and stubborn spirit spark a warmth he can't ignore. As they bicker over bolts and glitter, their slow-burn chemistry flares under Montana's stars. With the festival's meteor shower looming-and the observatory's fate hanging in the balance-Lila's past threatens to pull her back to the city, while Ethan's grief keeps his heart on lockdown.
Can Mia's matchmaking schemes, a meddling town's glitter-fueled chaos, and a sky full of shooting stars convince Lila to risk her heart? Or will she leave Willow Creek's magic behind?
For fans of Jenny Hale and Debbie Macomber, Chasing Starlight is a heartwarming small-town romance brimming with humor, healing, and starlit second chances.
