One Hundred Wishes: A Small Town Romance ((Large Print) Aspen Cove: Season One – Where Hope Begins)

A runaway pop star hiding from fame. A grumpy chef with a dark past and a quiet life to protect. And a small-town sanctuary where second chances come with sparks, secrets, and one hundred wishes.

Samantha White is America's sweetheart—a blue-haired pop star who walks off stage mid-concert and disappears into a crowd of screaming fans. After ten years of contract slavery, 210 shows in 52 weeks, and a manager who exploited her, she's done. She escapes to Aspen Cove, the small mountain town that embraced twelve-year-old Samantha when she and her mother were running from a different kind of danger. All she wants is peace, invisibility, and a life that's actually hers.

Chef Dalton Black has carved out a quiet, solitary life in Aspen Cove.

He's made peace with his past and knows exactly who he can trust. Just when he's achieved the peaceful existence he wants, his new neighbor accidentally sets his cabin on fire. She's chaotic, famous, and everything he should avoid.

But Samantha isn't what he expected. She's not the polished pop star on magazine covers—she's the scared girl who lived in the back seat of her mother's car. And Dalton isn't the cold, guarded man his reputation suggests. He's a chef who cooks to heal, and he makes her feel safe for the first time in years.

When her past catches up and the world comes looking for Indigo, they'll both have to decide: keep hiding alone, or fight for the life they never knew they wanted.
