The Maple Valley series is set in a fictional small town in the Midwest, a setting that draws on Melissa Tagg’s own Iowa upbringing. A Place to Belong (2018) introduces the town and its first couple, followed by Now and Then and Always (2019), which brings in new characters while keeping the community backdrop. Some Bright Someday (2020) and Someday Soon (2022) continue to build out the town with additional love stories.

Each book centers on a different couple working through personal challenges alongside their growing feelings for each other, with faith playing a role in how the characters understand their lives and choices. The series arrived after Tagg had established herself with the Where Love Begins and Walker Family books, and it shows a writer comfortable with the small-town romance formula she had developed over the previous five years.
