Clean, Small Town Romance / Second Chance / Forced Proximity / Grumpy Sunshine

He wanted to be left alone… until she landed on his doorstep.

Dash McHardie returned to Crabapple Landing a changed man—haunted by memories of his time spent in the military. Alone with his dog, Boomer, he hopes to find peace in the solitude of his childhood home.

But when a violent blizzard hits the town, Dash's peace is shattered by the unexpected. Brooke Carrington, the girl in high school he crushed on but barely knew, arrives on his doorstep in desperate need of help. With her car stranded in the storm and no way to contact anyone, she’s forced to seek shelter wherever she can find it.

As they wait out the storm together, old feelings resurface, and secrets are revealed—revelations that may tear them apart for good. Will the time they’re forced to spend together give them a second chance?

This standalone book set in Crabapple Landing can be read separately. It comes with its own happily ever after (HEA).

Ginny Boyer is back home in Crabapple Landing. With her father gone and a cluster of run-down lakeside cabins as her inheritance, she has enough on her plate. The last thing she needs is an encounter with Brad Fowell—one that could ignite a simmering feud. Generations of hatred stand between their families, and Brad, with his infuriating smirk, is everything she’s been taught to despise. But when she trespasses on his property and ends up injured, she’s at his mercy—and forced to confront the inconvenient truth that maybe he's not the villain she was raised to hate.

He's also kind of hot.

With no option but to rely on him, it's impossible to ignore the chemistry between them. And as they uncover shocking secrets about their families' bitter feud, that spark of attraction blazes into something deeper. Now she has a choice: hold onto centuries of bad blood or risk everything for a chance at love with the enemy.

This book takes place before You Shelter Me.

Each book in the Crabapple Landing series is a standalone with its own HEA.
