Ellie Chambers always wanted to be a writer. Now, she was a successful author, but it had come at a price. Two prices, actually.

Sam Price had dreamed of being the next Hemingway, not the hack ghostwriter behind the popular "Lottie Long" cozy mystery series. But days spent with his dad as a sought-after finish carpenter in quaint Golden Grove, Iowa gave him little time for much else.
