Brooke Marshall feels stuck—stuck in her hometown, stuck in a dead-end job, and stuck watching her dream of becoming a fashion designer slip further away. With her bank account empty and no clear way out of Red Maple Falls, the highlight of her week is trivia night… where she regularly butts heads with one very smug rival.
Tyler Carrington has money, confidence, and something to prove. Determined to step out from under his father’s shadow, he buys property in Red Maple Falls to launch a vacation rental business—only to realize ambition doesn’t equal experience. What he doesn’t expect is to need help from the sharp-tongued woman who clearly can’t stand him.
Forced to work together, the trivia-night rivals discover that tension isn’t the only thing sparking between them. As attraction builds and lines blur, Brooke is faced with the opportunity she’s been waiting for—the chance to finally leave Red Maple Falls behind. But chasing her dream could mean walking away from the man who’s unexpectedly captured her heart.
Blindsided by Brooke is a steamy enemies-to-lovers small-town romance filled with sharp banter, undeniable chemistry, and the kind of love that changes everything, and is part of the beloved Red Maple Falls romance series.
