The Crossroads of Love
A heartwarming small-town romance about second chances, unexpected friendships, and finding hope where you least expect it.
Recently retired literature professor Dr. Charles Newthiro never imagined he’d be back at square one.
Writer’s block has crushed his dream of finally finishing the Great American Novel, and the quiet Pennsylvania mornings have begun to feel unbearably empty. So when a part-time job opens at the Crossroads Auto Auction in Altoona, Charlie takes it—not for the paycheck, but for a chance to get out of his own head.
What he finds instead is a ragtag community of misfits, mechanics, retirees, and dreamers, each with a story worth telling… including one that might just change his life.
Enter Erin Riley—a recently retired emergency room nurse with a sharp wit, a calming presence, and a habit of helping others whether they ask for it or not. Erin is steady, grounded, and suspicious of the charming “professor” who keeps finding reasons to be near her. Especially when she mistakenly believes he’s married.

Only one person knows the truth: Claire Reynolds, the low-level studio assistant who discovered Flynn in a downtown bar and convinced him to come to LA. She believed in him before anyone else. She sees the real him behind the tuxes, the red carpets, and the carefully manufactured PR storms.
Yet Claire also believes she’s been left behind.
While the media fabricates a fairy-tale romance between Flynn and Roxanne, Claire keeps her distance—convinced she misread everything between her and the man she brought to Hollywood.
