Small Town & Rural

As a single mom rebuilding my life from scratch, I don’t need help. And I definitely don’t need the attention of a six-foot-three maple farmer with a beard and a hero complex who looks at me like I’m a problem he didn’t sign up for.

Falling for Josh Lawrence was never part of the plan. But then he starts showing up.
