Corporate attorney Olivia Chen thought she had it all-until a broken engagement sent her fleeing to the one place she never expected: her estranged grandmother's crumbling Victorian manor in small-town Hartwood. Armed with a cryptic letter urging her to "break down these old walls," Olivia discovers more than rotting floorboards and peeling wallpaper. Behind a hidden wall lies her grandmother's secret life-decades of unpublished romance novels and unsent letters revealing a woman who sacrificed her dreams for convention. As handsome contractor Jack Malone helps restore the house, he also begins dismantling the walls around Olivia's heart. But when her old life comes calling, she must choose between the success she built and the love she found. A touching story about family secrets, second chances, and learning that some walls are meant to be broken.
