Falling Into Us - by Denise Hunter (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

She's determined to keep her heart closed, and he's a single dad with too much on his plate. But sometimes you just can't help falling. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Sarah Adams, Falling Into Us is a low-spice, high-swoon cozy romance.

When Gabby Donaldson's late mother leaves her with one final task--delivering a letter to Gabby's estranged grandmother--Gabby's world turns upside down. She has no desire to meet her long-lost grandmother, but she sets out for Maple Ridge, North Carolina, anyway. She rents a cozy cabin from Mason Malone, whose first impression is of her leaping from sofa to sofa in an effort to evade a colossal spider. No matter, Gabby will probably never see him again. Except finding her grandmother turns out to be more challenging than she ever expected.

Mason, a dedicated sports journalist and part time professor, is balancing grief and guilt with the challenges of raising his spirited twelve-year-old daughter, Peyton, after his wife's passing. His life is a whirlwind of family farm drama, work, ambitions, and a desire to prove himself worthy of a promotion that would give him more time with his daughter.

Gabby and Mason soon team up in a quid pro quo: he'll help her find her grandmother, and she will serve as the subject of a crucial human-interest piece that will virtually assure him of the promotion he seeks. As they team up, they begin to grow closer, and soon their journey leads to tender moments and sparks of undeniable chemistry.

But both are plagued by their own personal struggles as they must navigate the tangled path of family, love, and second chances. As their time together comes to an end they must decide: Will they choose to guard their hearts? Or will they discover that sometimes love is worth fighting for?
