About this ebook
Fall for a small-town, friends-to-lovers romance where a bookish dreamer and a rugged ranch hand discover that sometimes, love comes when you least expect it.
Aspen Westgrove has spent her life pleasing others, more specifically her family. Growing up in Faircloud, Texas she has come to love the roots she dug and wants to make a life for herself in the place she calls home. Aspen aspires to be a romance author, to create stories of love to share with other readers like herself but, there is one small problem—she has never been in love. After losing her job at the local coffee shop, Aspen is now left to wonder how she will navigate the sudden change and make her dreams of writing finally come true.
Boone Cassidy is Faircloud’s resident bachelor and ranch hand on his family’s land who's been causing chaos in town since he was a boy. When his sister leaves town, he and his family are forced to find a solution to keep their farm-stand running in her absence.
Timing and fate align, pushing Boone to offer Aspen an opportunity she can’t refuse. When the reformed bad boy and the shy bookworm come together to form an unexpected friendship, feelings are brought to the surface that neither of them know how to handle.
Follow Boone and Aspen along on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and love in a small town cowboy romance.

About the author
M. Hartley is a hopeless romantic with a passion for crafting heartfelt stories about small-town charm and rugged fictional cowboys (with big hearts and big…) When she’s not writing, while drinking a glass of sweet red wine, she can be found doting on her beloved dog, Hank, or indulging in her absurd Swedish Fish addiction. Dedicated to making readers fall head over heels for romance, M. Hartley believes there’s nothing better than a love story that lingers long after the last page is turned.
