Whispers Beneath The Maple Sky
When city-bred event planner Aria Bennett moves to the quiet town of Maple Hollow to save her late grandmother’s struggling inn, she expects charm, fresh air, and a temporary stay. She doesn’t expect Caleb Turner. Caleb is Maple Hollow’s golden boy turned recluse, a contractor with a reputation for being capable, dependable… and emotionally unavailable. After a failed engagement that became town gossip, he’s sworn off relationships for good. When Aria discovers she needs town approval and a large investor to restore the historic inn, she makes a risky proposal: Caleb pretends to be her boyfriend to help soften the town council and attract business interest. In return, she’ll help repair his public image and assist him in securing a commercial contract he desperately needs. It’s simple. Strategic. Temporary. Until staged smiles turn into lingering glances. Until rehearsed hand-holding feels too natural. Until the line between pretending and falling disappears. But when Caleb’s past resurfaces and Aria is offered a life-changing opportunity back in the city, they must decide: Was this just a deal? Or is Maple Hollow finally home?
