Event planner Tessa Langley is desperate - her business, her future, and her pride are all riding on the Cedar Falls Harvest Festival. There’s just one problem: the only pumpkin farmer within a hundred miles is a brooding, broad-shouldered recluse who hates crowds and city girls.
Brody Kane has three rules: no festivals, no complications, and no getting close to anyone who can break his heart. Tessa is a walking violation of all three.
Now they’re partners in business, and maybe something far more dangerous. Between stolen glances and slow-burn touches, the lines between contract and connection blur.
He’s grumpy, she’s sunshine. He’s the mountain, she’s the storm. And in a town where everyone knows your business, they’ll have to decide if this fling can survive past the festival gates.
Tropes: Grumpy/sunshine, small town romance, opposites attract, forced proximity, slow burn to steamy, protective hero, strong heroine, mountain man romance, possessive hero, curvy heroine, HEA.
