Free Audiobook : Story of My Life, By Lucy Score

Hazel Hart, once a thriving romance author, finds herself creatively paralyzed after a messy breakup. Unable to produce her latest manuscript, she’s barricaded herself in her apartment, surrounded by a fortress of discarded takeout boxes. Her publisher’s ultimatum is clear: miss another deadline, and her career is over.

In a reckless bid for a fresh start, Hazel snags a historic property sight-unseen online and relocates to the quaint hamlet of Story Lake, PA. Her grand entrance—marked by a run-in with a bald eagle—reveals a home far less picturesque than advertised, teeming with raccoons and structural woes.

The town itself is reeling from the closure of its main employer, and Hazel, an introvert by nature, is unexpectedly roped into local politics with a council seat that came with the house. Chaos reigns, but hope flickers when she meets Campbell Bishop, a towering, gruff contractor who patches her up after a mishap and sparks her muse.

Hazel enlists Cam and his handsome siblings to overhaul her crumbling abode—less a home, more a spider sanctuary. She also ropes Cam into a faux date, claiming it’s for her novel’s sake. Soon, her fictional love story bleeds into reality, but as the town teeters on financial ruin and Cam’s guarded heart resists, Hazel wonders if happy endings are just for her pages.
