Meant to Be Yours: A Happily Ever After Romance Novel

By Lila Hart

Emma Carver plans her life in color-coded boxes. Jake Matthews runs on coffee, community, and the kind of chaos that makes a small town breathe. When Emma returns to Willow Creek to rescue a struggling grant project, her plan is simple: stabilize, standardize, and leave. Jake's plan is simpler-keep The Bluebird caf open when people need it most and protect the soul of a town that refuses to quit.

They clash on day one-spreadsheets versus sidewalk chalk, posted hours versus "open-ish." But as loading zones get painted, lights go up along the river, and the town shows up in messy, beautiful ways, sparks turn into something that feels dangerously like fate. He teaches her that proof and poetry can live together; she shows him that jazz still has time signatures.

Opposites attract, banter flies, and the emotional payoff hits right where it counts-with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

Perfect for fans of: small-town romance, found family, slow-burn chemistry, witty heat, and feel-good endings that stick.
