A small-town waitress and a Hollywood star's worlds collide in this romance by Ashley Herring Blake. Once a promising student at a prestigious art school, Ramona Riley had dreams of becoming a costume designer in Hollywood. However, after her father’s car accident, she returned to Clover Lake, New Hampshire, to care for her younger sister, giving up on her aspirations. Twelve years later, while working at the local café, she sees a glimmer of hope when a big-budget romantic comedy comes to town. The catch? The star is Dylan Monroe, her first kiss and Hollywood's favorite wild child. Dylan, raised by famous rock icons, struggles to prove she’s more than just a nepo baby. To demonstrate her skills and connect with a normal life, she takes on a project in Clover Lake, working at the café and shadowing Ramona. As they spend time together, Dylan discovers that Ramona is not just a local waitress; she’s someone from her past who remembers her vividly. As their connection deepens, both women face the challenge of balancing their growing feelings with their individual dreams. They must decide if their spark can fuel their ambitions or if it will dim their hopes altogether.
