Something's Brewing with the Mountain Man

She came to start over. Love was the last thing she was looking for.

Opening a floral boutique in Pineberry Springs is Holly’s fresh start. After a manipulative ex destroyed her business and shattered her trust, she’s come to the cozy mountain town to rebuild her dream from the ground up. Alone this time. No distractions, no risks. No more heartbreak. Simple. Safe. Hers.

What she doesn’t count on? Jake.
The soft-spoken man who is nearly a decade older than her and owns the coffeehouse and roastery next door is way to kind to be real – not to mention competent, self-aware, and maddeningly handsome.

He also seems to have zero interest in keeping his distance.
But Jake is everything she doesn’t trust. He’s warm where she’s guarded. Protective without being possessive, and consistent in a way that feels impossible.
He just keeps showing up – with that incredible smile and those gorgeous eyes that see way too much. Reliable. Diligent. Caring. Like he’s known her forever.

Like he’s been waiting for her.

Holly doesn’t believe in fate anymore though. She believes in red flags, and not making the same mistake twice. Still, there’s no denying the instant connection between them feels unnervingly right. It’s a spark Holly doesn’t trust, but can’t ignore.
Jake is nothing like the man who broke her – and that makes him even more dangerous.
Because if he’s for real, then walking away would mean giving up on the kind of love she’d stopped letting herself dream of.
The kind that feels like coming home.
