Every Road Back to You

by Josephine Hale · Ongoing · 15 chapters

Ten years ago, chef Nora Bellweather packed one suitcase, left Cedar Hollow, and left Eli Hargrove standing in his father's garage with a ring he never got to give her. Now her city career has collapsed in spectacular, humiliating fashion, and the only place left to go is home — to her grandmother's crumbling building on Main Street, the one she's about to turn into the restaurant she always swore she'd open someday. The problem is the building shares a wall with Hargrove Auto, and Eli never left, never married, and never quite stopped waiting for an answer. Between a leaking roof, a grandmother who won't stop meddling, a town that remembers everything, and a man who still knows exactly how she takes her coffee, Nora has to figure out whether coming home means admitting she failed — or admitting she never should have run in the first place. Some roads only look like they lead away from you. This one, it turns out, was always circling back.
