When Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups
When ER doctor Alexis Montgomery swerves to avoid a raccoon and ends up with her Mercedes in a muddy ditch on a fog-shrouded night, she never expects the bearded stranger who stops to help will change her life forever. Daniel Grant, the small-town mayor of Wakan, pulls her car from the ditch with practiced ease before disappearing into the fog with nothing more than a crooked smile. When her car finally gives up outside the local VFW hall later that night, she encounters him again. Their chemistry is immediate and electric. What begins as a chance encounter quickly evolves into something neither anticipated. Over homemade grilled cheese sandwiches in Daniel's industrial-style loft above his furniture workshop, they discover an unexpected ease in each other's company. Their lives exist in parallel universes that shouldn't intersect-Alexis is a 37-year-old trauma surgeon from Minneapolis's elite medical circle, while Daniel, at 28, embodies the heart of small-town America as Wakan's youngest-ever mayor who splits his time between city council meetings, fighting fires as a volunteer, and crafting bespoke furniture from reclaimed barn wood. The morning after their first night together, Alexis slips away before dawn. But fate-or perhaps the peculiar magic that seems to permeate Wakan itself-has grander designs for these two souls from different worlds.
