He’s a guarded drifter with no roots. I’m a small-town girl who believes in home and family. We were never meant to fall for each other—but love has its own plans.
I came back to Orlinda Valley after college for the life I’d always dreamed of—teaching, community, a sense of belonging. Finding the right man? That was another story.
Then Kai Lawson appeared—gritty, guarded, and completely irresistible. I told myself to stay away, but in a small town, avoiding someone isn’t just difficult—it’s impossible. Slowly, he became part of my world, my thoughts, my every moment. Every touch, every glance, made the pull between us impossible to ignore.
Just as I began to believe in us, his past came crashing in, bringing secrets he had fought to keep hidden—and shutting me out. Now, I must show Kai that where you come from doesn’t define you, family is more than blood, and that real, lasting love is always worth fighting for.
