He is the man of her dreams...
Known for his procrastination, Henry Turner always knew that his third year at university wouldn’t be easy. That was before he even became the captain of the ice hockey team and found himself taking a tough class from a professor he doesn’t like. Fortunately, he meets a fellow student, Hallie, and the two quickly become friends.
Academic life has never been difficult for introverted Hallie; always wanting to please everyone and taking on more than she can handle, she offers to help Henry pass his class. In exchange, he will help her make her student life a bit more interesting – exactly what an aspiring writer needs...
Failure is not an option for either of them, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities for distractions...
They wrote about the book: “This book is a true dream for lovers of romantic stories. Heart, passion, a lesson on ‘private tutoring’ that transcends the classroom, and the signature magic of Hannah Grayce – Live the Dream is my favorite book in the Maple Hills universe. Hannah’s characters will make you feel like you’re at the center. Oh, and if you haven’t already fallen for Henry Turner… get ready to be enchanted.” –ELENA ARMAS, author of From Spain with Deceit.

Read an excerpt
"I think we should break up, Hallie." Will's serious expression looks ridiculous against the backdrop of my kitchen. Contrasted with the frills and florals my grandmother once chose and which I, always overly sentimental and nostalgic, never replaced. Against the backdrop of the lemon-colored cabinets, a DIY project she completed on her own after learning to make dry Martinis with Mrs. Astor next door. Against the backdrop of Joy, the ragdoll cat my grandmother bought to celebrate my move, who sleeps on the breakfast bar surrounded by handmade knitted fish. Against the smell of the second batch of croissants, because I always ruin the first one. Everything is too familiar. Too unserious. Too normal to justify his stiffness. His eyes follow my every movement as I take off the apron he bought me for my birthday, as if he's waiting for me to explode. The tension in his jaw accentuates the sharp angles of his face and he is nothing like the laid-back guy I dated last year, let alone the friend I've had for ten years. No, this Will is genuinely on edge.
