She came to tear down his legacy. He swore to protect it. Somewhere along the line, their hearts collided.
An ambitious corporate lawyer sent to close a small‑town heritage railway clashes with a devoted railway historian, but when they uncover a legal loophole, they must join forces to save Havenbrook’s past, and decide whether love or ambition rules their future.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In a battle to save the heart of a town, two rivals discover what's truly worth fighting for.
When corporate lawyer Ziona Emerson arrives in the charming coastal town of Havenbrook, her mission is clear: close down the historic railway line and make way for progress. It's the career-making case that could secure her partnership—if she can convince the locals that the past isn't worth preserving.
Railway historian Alexander Kingsford has dedicated his life to protecting Havenbrook's heritage. The railway isn't just history to him—it's personal, a legacy from his stationmaster grandfather. When the development firm sends their "closer" to town, Alex is prepared to fight with everything he has.
Neither expects the spark that ignites when they clash.
As Ziona walks the historic line and listens to the community's stories, the town begins to work its magic on her. And Alex, despite his determination to dislike the corporate lawyer threatening his beloved railway, can't help but notice her genuine curiosity and unexpected passion for architectural history.
When they discover an overlooked legal clause that could change everything, Ziona and Alex form an unlikely alliance. But with corporate pressure mounting and community tensions rising, their growing feelings become complicated. Alex's ex-girlfriend returns to town with her own agenda, while Ziona faces an impossible choice between her career ambitions and her heart.
With the final hearing approaching, both must decide what they're truly fighting for. Can they find a way to preserve the past while building a future together? Or will they be forced to choose between love and the values that define them?
Love on the Line is a heartfelt contemporary romance where passion for preservation meets the unstoppable force of progress—and the most unexpected things worth saving are the connections we make along the way.
Love on the Line is a heartfelt contemporary romance where passion for preservation meets the unstoppable force of progress, and where the most unexpected things worth saving are the human connections we forge.
