But Russ has changed. When he asks her to help him co-chair the town’s Canada Day celebration, she agrees. Discovering a tiny kittens leads to a steamy kiss, but his reaction hurts her more than she thought it could. An unexpected date to a wedding, changes everything, until she discovers that once again, he’s used her, but it’s too late, he’s wormed his way into her heart.
When the first chapter of her novella appears, everyone in town is more than a little curious about the local author who writes with such passion, and they’re eager to discover the person behind the pseudonym. With the town busybodies determined to learn the truth and Russ encouraging them, keeping her secret will be harder than ever.
