After Sundown

After a painful breakup, Alice escapes the chaos of city life to flip a rundown cottage in a sleepy countryside village. The project is supposed to be her fresh start—but between peeling paint and tangled weeds, she finds herself more lost than ever. Then she meets the man she hires to restore the garden: gruff, quiet, and far too good at keeping his distance. He’s the kind of mystery that tempts her to dig deeper. As the days pass and the garden slowly blooms, so does something between them—gentle, unexpected, and healing in ways neither imagined. Because sometimes, the most beautiful things take root when you stop running.
