Change of Heart
Attorney Campbell Andrews made partner by thirty-four by being ruthlessly efficient, and she has no patience for lateness, small talk, or love stories. After she treats a blind date with pediatrician Ben Loving terribly, she wakes up in Heart Springs, a picture-perfect small town straight out of a holiday movie. To get home she must complete three tasks: find work she loves, become part of the community, and experience true love. Ben happens to be there too, and helping her may be the kindest thing anyone has done for her in years. A whimsical, magical-premise rom-com about slowing down and letting people in.
