You Met Me There (Hearts of Maple Lake #2)

Ten years ago, Natalie felt trapped living in Maple Lake.

When love at first sight became her opportunity to be whisked away, she took it, leaving behind a simple note for her parents, but nothing more. No real goodbye. No explanation.

Just a tight hold on the thread that tied her to Luke.

Now, that thread is fraying. While the pillars of their love still hold strong, his constant dismissal of her one request can no longer be ignored.

Natalie is desperate to chase her heart’s desire no matter what it takes, even if it’s a road trip home where she doesn’t know if she’ll be welcome.

Escaping back to Maple Lake after all these years, with emotional baggage under each arm and anxiety a constant companion, Natalie has more than just her own heart to mend.

She must face the family she abandoned and the choices that haunt her. And when Luke follows her home, it’s the choices she makes now that will keep them together or push them farther apart.

Natalie wants a future that includes kids, and Luke isn’t sure he can give it to her. Is their love strong enough to keep them together for better or worse?

This is a small town, marriage in crisis romance that can be read as a standalone. Otherwise, it is best read as book 2 in the Hearts of Maple Lake series.

It’s set in a Pennsylvania mountain town during the summer and features strong sibling bonds, mental health representation, and steamy kisses with no spice.
