Struggling to keep his organic farm afloat, Jesse has no time for romance. But when the girl with the ocean-green eyes returns to Trappers Cove, his wounded heart ignites. Gemma slipped away once, and he’ll do anything to keep her close, no matter how much it hurts.
Still quaking from a breakup, chronic people-fixer Gemma shelters in her woo-woo auntie’s crystal shop, where she’s always found peace—until Jesse walks in. The brawny farmer is frustrating, stubborn, and oh so tempting, even to a sworn vagabond like her.
Between clashes over how to save his farm, Jesse slowly reveals his softer side—sweet, loyal, and sensual. But his possessive streak triggers Gemma’s fear of being pinned down. When a little white lie backfires, she discovers how deeply she’s hurt the tender-hearted grump, and how desperately she wants to keep him.
Come to Trappers Cove, Washington, for a cozy, funny, spicy, opposites-attract romance novella in a beach town you’ll want to visit again and again.
