Sutton Acker has had a terrible year. After her fiancé cheats on her and her grandmother passes away, she can’t stop thinking about a love story her grandmother used to share about a Jewish woman living in Europe during World War II who unexpectedly fell in love with an American solider only to lose him just as suddenly. It’s a story Sutton knows well, having seen her grandmother grieve this man for most of her life.
Despite being a high-powered, divorce attorney in New York City with little hope of finding true love, Sutton has always clung to her grandmother’s story as proof that love does exist. But as the reality of finding true love feels more and more unlikely, Sutton decides to look up the soldier her grandmother spoke about. When she surprisingly finds out that he’s alive and living in Boston, she arranges to work remotely for several weeks to go in search of proof that the love her grandmother told her about was real.
Adrian Harrison is still dealing with the fallout of his recent divorce from a woman he never should have married. Despite his sister’s occasional meddling in his love life—or lack thereof—and his ex-wife’s recent scheme, he’s moved on and has a thriving business. His troublesome ex becomes the least of his problems when Sutton walks into his bar making demands and sending his heart racing with irritation.
Sutton isn’t leaving Boston—or apparently, his bar—until she gets the proof she came to find. But maybe she’ll find what she’s looking for in the most unexpected of places.
