A Hollywood screenwriter’s detour into small-town life

Sawyer Walsh knows how to shape love stories for the screen, but his own romantic life takes a public turn when he flees his ex-girlfriend’s wedding to his famous best friend. Seeking distance from the media attention, he ends up in Canoodle, California, staying at the family-run cabins managed by Fallon Long. She is focused on restoring the business and initially doubts the screenwriter’s worth; their connection develops alongside her efforts to keep the cabins afloat and his adjustment to life outside Hollywood. The setup brings together a public breakup, a small-town business under pressure, and the question of whether a romance can take shape far from the spotlight.

Book overview

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a heartfelt romantic comedy about new beginnings and finding the romanticized happily ever after in the most unlikely of places.

Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he's a mess. That's how he finds himself standing at the altar...as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage--it's all too much--and before he knows exactly what he's doing, he's making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.

Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer's new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.

As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer's notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance--or is true love just a Hollywood clich
