(Bristol Pines Book 1) Shelley and her son Luke are recovering from a tragic life event and are making their new home in Bristol Pines, MA., a boutique ski village in the mountains above the hustle and bustle of Boston. Luke is a stellar soccer player good student who is finding his way in a new school and new community while Shelley is working hard to fulfill a life-long dream of owning and operating an art gallery. Alec is a divorced father of precocious twin girls, Olivia and Mia, who generally have totally different viewpoints on most things. He coaches baseball and has three history classes, on of which is Art History, not his strong suit. He meets Shelley while she prepares the new gallery space and strikes up a deal whereby she helps him with lesson plans and he gives her insight about how the gallery operated when his grandparents owned it.
