(The fourth book in the Ashwood Falls series)
A novel by

 
 
He made a deal to push me out.
Then he fell for me instead.


I came to Ashwood Falls for sixty days—long enough to sell my cabin and move on.

Then I met Jace Maddox.

Grumpy. Silent. Impossible to ignore.
The kind of man who builds you shelves instead of saying how he feels… and shows up when everything falls apart.


I wasn’t supposed to stay.
I definitely wasn’t supposed to fall.


But somewhere between baking bread, small-town chaos, and one storm that changes everything… I start to believe I might actually belong here.

With him.

Until I find out the truth.

He was watching me from the start.
Reporting back.
Waiting for me to leave.


Now I don’t know what’s real—
except the way he touches me… and the way it still feels like home.


Love at First Loaf is a steamy small-town romcom with grumpy/sunshine vibes, forced proximity, found family, and one very stubborn mountain man.


Genre: Romance
