All I’ve ever wanted is to escape the tiny town and trailer park that never accepted me. I came to Devon Falls to start over, and things here were starting to look up—until I accidentally ended up living in a drug dealer’s barn and became a town pariah all over again. And on top of all that, I’m now homeless for a second time. Is there a hotter mess than me on the planet?
Things get wonky when my boss rescues me from my car and takes me home. I’ve been crushing hard on Dr. Sam Evers since we met, and moving in with him isn’t making that crush go away. He may be one of the growliest people in town, but Dr. Evers takes care of me and protects me in a way no one ever has. Still, I know better than to think that will last once he realizes what a disaster I am. Plus, Dr. Evers swore off all relationships after he lost his husband. And then there’s the fact that he’s my boss…
But Dr. Evers saves me again when managing the Devon Falls Leaf Festival and quickly discovering I can’t do it all. Now I can’t decide what’s harder: earning the acceptance of an entire town, or trying not to fall for a doctor I can never have.
