Love Locked In

?She writes love stories. He’s afraid to live one. ?
In Holiday Ridge, a love that survives Lock Night is a love worth keeping. Maggie Welch writes happily-ever-afters for a living, but when it comes to her own heart, she’s wonderfully unlucky. A best-selling romance author with a failed marriage living in a town full of promises she no longer believes in, Maggie has sworn off love…even as she watches couples lock theirs in at Promise Pond. Dermot Aldridge has built his life on control. A quiet, distant doctor with a bruised heart and a deep love of romance novels, he prefers the safety of books, his dog, and solitude. Love is something he reads about…not something he’ll ever risk again. Until a freak accident involving a ladder, a concussion, and a very unfortunate stone sculpture throws Maggie straight into Dermot’s arms. Forced proximity turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances, and a connection neither of them expected. But with Lock Night approaching and both of them carrying scars from the past, opening their hearts may be the biggest risk of all. Because in Holiday Ridge, love isn’t just promised. It hangs on a fence as a constant reminder… Is this forever? Or just an empty promise?
