Seeking a fresh start in life, Mia has moved from the city with her rescue dog. A lover of knitting, she owns the local craft store, Hook & Knot, and hosts the gossipy sit and knit group.
Oliver can’t believe his luck. He knows their connection is undeniable and wants their secret encounters to blossom into a relationship. But Mia is unsure. Meeting Oliver has forced her to reconsider her expectations, and she’s in unfamiliar territory. When she does finally settle into his arms, her past comes rushing back.
Mia and Oliver's story unfolds in the picturesque wine country, amidst vintage bicycles, a lively knitting circle, and a comical collection of elderly family relatives. There’s also the matter of the missing money. Was the grandmother embezzling?
