Her heart was couture. His heart was timeless.
Sofia Locke is good at three things—navigating black-tie events, managing difficult people, and pretending she’s happy with the life she’s supposed to want. Amber Falls was meant to be a small detour, not a life change, so she didn’t expect to find a job teaching a lecture series on fashion through history. The catch? The job comes with one major complication, Liam MacKenzie, the charming head of the history department, who makes her second guess what putting down roots means.
Liam MacKenzie likes things simple—his job, his town, and a life built on what’s real, not what looks good on paper. Sofia Locke is none of those things. She’s polish and poise and a reminder of a world he has no interest in. At least, that’s what he tells himself. Liam tries to resist Sofia, but the more they work together, Liam discovers Sofia is a lot more than he assumed, and Sofia discovers that Amber Falls, and one very stubborn historian, might be a lot harder to leave than she planned.
