A broken marriage. A crumbling Victorian house. One last chance to save her career.
A year ago, bestselling author Kit Hastings lost everything when her husband left her for a woman who could give him children. Since then, she hasn't written a word. Now, with a looming deadline and her career hanging by a thread, she's running out of time.
Desperate for a fresh start, Kit retreats to Wayward Place, a rambling Victorian house she hopes will provide the peace and solitude she needs to finish her next novel.
Instead, she finds five eccentric roommates, a three-legged dog who adopts her on sight, and a charming small-town handyman whose easy smile is becoming a serious distraction.
As Kit settles into life at Wayward Place, she becomes entangled in the lives of her unexpected housemates and uncovers long-buried secrets hidden within the old house. Between newfound friendships, the possibility of love, and a community that feels more like family every day, Kit begins to discover something she thought she'd lost forever: hope.
But with her deadline closing in and her future uncertain, Kit must decide whether to keep holding on to the life she lost-or risk opening her heart to a new beginning.
A heartwarming novel about second chances, found family, and discovering that home can be found in the most unexpected places.
