Piece By Piece
Welcome back to Mapleton
Olivia Carlson never expected to be widowed before her thirtieth birthday, so when her husband is killed in a motorcycle accident, life as she knows it falls apart. It takes two years of therapy and the support of her family, friends, and students for Olivia to acknowledge that she owes it to her late husband-and herself-to live more fully. First step? Dating. If only she could control all the variables and guarantee she won't get hurt again.
Vince Vos doesn't date, at least not seriously. He's content to live a bachelor life, committed to his student athletes and his family. Unfortunately, his mom and his sister don't understand, and no amount of free babysitting for his nieces and clean-up duty after Sunday dinner will get them to stop badgering him about settling down. Desperate to have them off his case, Vince shocks everyone and claims he's dating Olivia. But even more surprising than his bluff is Olivia's willingness to play along.
Between early-morning workouts, afternoons spent swapping literature references across the halls, and late-night jigsaw puzzle marathons, Vince and Olivia's friendship and fake-dating arrangement morphs into something that feels a lot like love. But when past wounds threaten to break the future they're piecing together, does the pair have the patience and perseverance to prove they're a perfect fit?
A tender and uplifting contemporary romance set against the backdrop of a charming small town and exploring themes of hope and healing.
