A Small Town Slow Burn Opposites Attract Romance

What if the only thing that can save the guarded cowboy is the thing he fears the most?

MONROE

At twenty-eight, Brooklyn jewelry designer, Monroe Everhart, has no family. Though the wounds of her beloved late father are fresh, she longs to know who her mother was. And now, thanks to a vintage photo of a woman, she may get her chance.

With nothing but a handwritten date and setting to go on, Monroe swaps the big city for small-town Montana. It’s completely opposite, but it takes no time for her to feel at home in the turn-of-the-century farmhouse she buys or the 1941 truck she affectionately names Gertie.

But as Monroe begins to settle in, she’s unaware of the broody cowboy across the creek from her. The one with a scowl and a gruff gaze.

She tells herself she doesn’t have time to entertain the nosedive her stomach makes, especially when her heart is still raw from her toxic ex. But it’s hard to ignore a man she shouldn’t be interested in.

KANE

It’s been six years since tragedy struck Kane Garrison. In the aftermath, he’s convinced himself that guarding his heart is the key to survival. And he’s mastered it—until he finds Monroe in need of help.

Nothing about meeting his new neighbor should be life-altering. But it is. She’s eleven years his junior, and perhaps it’s her light-hearted nature that shows Kane that life doesn’t always have to be lived alone.

He says he’s too old for her. Too closed off. Too…broken. But Monroe is the embodiment of what his future could be. But if Kane lets down his walls, will his heart end up getting roped?
