Claimed At The Crossroads - A Small Town Romance #968075

When Nadia Osei returns to her late grandmother's limestone farmhouse in the Texas Hill Country, she tells herself it is a practical errand: assess the property, meet with the realtor, and drive back to her carefully constructed life in Austin within two weeks. What she finds instead is a contractor named Cole Merritt working quietly through the rooms, a house that seems to hold its breath around her, and something hidden inside a wall that will change everything she thought she understood about her grandmother, about this small crossroads town, and about the life she has spent a decade building at a careful distance from the things that matter most. Claimed at the Crossroads is a slow, immersive romance about what it costs to stay somewhere and what it costs to leave, about the secrets that old houses keep for the people who love them, and about two people who have both spent years being useful to everyone except themselves, slowly finding their way toward something real.
