출판사 설명
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From bestselling author Debbie Macomber comes an uplifting story of an unforgettable chance encounter between a successful yet jaded businessman and a woman who sees—but also expects—the best in everyone, sparking an unlikely romance that challenges their assumptions about generosity, trust, and the gifts of unforeseen love.
Maisy Gallagher has her own dreams, but when her father passes away, she selflessly sets them aside to help her family. Despite knowing it was the right thing to do, she can’t help but wish for the road not taken.
Chase Furst, the hardened heir to a financial empire, is on the other hand primarily focused on his own life and on his work as a bank executive. His childhood was marred by his mother’s struggle with addiction, and left him cynical and emotionally distant.
But then Chase meets Maisy, a beautiful woman full of optimism and kindness who can see past his defenses. To his surprise and annoyance, she offers to help him during a time of need, and declines his offer of payment. Instead, she asks him to pay it forward—and not with money or a quick fix, but through an act of true selflessness. At a loss, Chase doesn’t know where to begin.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Macomber (Must Love Flowers) delivers a heartwarming tale of love between a wealthy but cynical man and a struggling but optimistic woman. Chase Furst, heir to a Chicago banking empire, is disgruntled when his first-class flight to Seattle seats him next to chatty and upbeat Maisy Gallagher, whose ticket was unexpectedly upgraded. Though Chase is rude to her in transit, Maisy offers him a ride after the car he booked doesn't show up at the airport and shows him kindness when he reveals that he's in Seattle to arrange the funeral for his late estranged mother. Endeared by Maisy's compassion, Chase stays in touch with her upon returning to Chicago, and their bond deepens over phone calls and text messages. Their romance develops quickly despite warnings from their respective families about the differences between their class backgrounds. Maisy's family-run jewelry store in Seattle is floundering, and when financial crisis looms, Chase struggles with whether to provide help despite Maisy's insistence on independence. Macomber imbues the grumpy/sunshine trope with an impressive amount of authenticity and makes Chase falling for Maisy's positivity palpable and believable. This one charms.
