Falling Leaves

Moving back to my small hometown was supposed to be a fresh start-a chance to rebuild and finally leave the past where it belongs. But then I stumbled onto an old photograph, and with it, a mystery that ties my family to the very soul of this town. Now, instead of relaxing with pumpkin spice lattes, I'm knee-deep in old letters, blueprints, and the tangled history of the people I thought I knew. And don't even get me started on Oliver-the handsome stranger with secrets as deep as the old oak tree that stands at the heart of Maplewood. What started as a simple project to protect the town from a greedy developer has turned into something much bigger. Now, it's up to me to figure out the truth before the past catches up with all of us. Honestly, I just wanted to enjoy fall without having to play detective... but here we are. Care to join me?
