Produktbeschreibung

The Vintage Toy Shop Secret Julian Vance is a man who lives by the numbers. A pragmatic, high-efficiency data analyst from Manhattan, he arrives in the snowbound, picturesque town of Holly Creek with one goal: to quickly liquidate the dusty, chaotic toy shop he inherited from his eccentric uncle, Alistair. Julian wants nothing more than to return to his sterile, predictable life, free from the messy chaos of sentimentality and small-town charm. But Holly Creek has other plans. The moment he steps into Alistair's shop, with its scent of cinnamon and old paper, Julian's efficient plan is derailed. He meets Liam Bennett, the town's warm and observant historian, whose coffee-colored eyes challenge Julian's rigid worldview. As a fierce blizzard traps them together, Julian stumbles upon a hidden compartment in an antique cedar chest, a discovery that unravels a half-century-old secret: a cache of letters detailing a forbidden love affair between his uncle and a local artist named Arthur Vance. Driven by an unexpected curiosity and an undeniable connection with Liam, Julian teams up with the historian to uncover the truth of their past. What they find is a story of love, sacrifice, and a town council conspiracy that forced Arthur to vanish, denying Alistair and him a future. As they fight to clear their names and preserve Alistair's legacy, Julian and Liam find themselves fighting for something more personal: their own chance at a life where love isn't a secret, and where a city boy and a town historian can find their perfect, illogical, and entirely necessary happy ending.
