The Now in Forever

<p><strong>Can one perfect day turn into a lifetime love?</strong></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 37 77 1)>Ten years ago Hattie Stevens had the perfect day. She spent a little over twenty-four hours with the attractive creative always moving slightly chaotic writer Ed DeArmas. The timing was wrong but their connection was undeniable.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 37 77 1)>Three years ago Hattie tried to reconnect with Ed at a signing for his book. Nothing went right. She was late for the event and when she finally handed Ed the book to sign he didn't recognize her.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 37 77 1)>Now on the cusp of turning thirty she's about as far from her dream life list as she's ever been. Divorced unexpectedly out of a job still unpublished and doesn't own the small town bookstore that has been an aspiration since she was a child. Ready for a break from life she agrees to spend the summer in Fortune Falls on the Oregon Coast with her two best friends and their partners. She's stunned to find that one of them has brought a guest-Ed. </span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 37 77 1)>Thrown together for the summer both working on drafts of new novels both single both attracted to each other but Ed still doesn't remember her from their day together. Or does he?</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 37 77 1)>As they get closer Hattie also grows attached to Fortune Falls while Ed makes it very clear he would never want to live in a place so small. To complicate matters a bookstore in an old Victorian house off Main Street is for sale. Hattie must choose between the dream of owning her own bookstore or risk her heart a third time with Ed.</span></p><p></p>
