Alex Fisher is a well-known romance author, who lost her husband three years before Peony Red takes place. Ever since Kyle died, she can’t seem to connect to anything anymore and her writing career is suffering as a result. When she receives two postcards from an unknown “Eli”, written in her dead husband’s handwriting, inviting her to Granite Harbor, Maine, she decides on a change of scenery. Granite Harbor is a quaint little town and Alex quickly makes friends with the couple that owns the bakery, Hello Good-Pie. In walks game warden, Eli Young. Inspired by Eli and his job, Alex immediately decides to write a series of contemporary romances centered around wardens. And, hey, the butterflies Alex keeps getting around him certainly don’t hurt!

Alex and Eli have an instant connection, but they are both struggling with their own pasts. Alex feels like she is dishonoring her husband’s memory and Eli hasn’t yet bothered to file divorce papers, even though he and his wife are no longer an item. They both are trying very hard to not get involved but to no avail.
