A Story by

 
 
Emma makes lots of reckless decisions, like sleeping with Theo, the rule-obsessed sheriff who’s SO not her type. Then again, he’s got this knack for making her feel seen, heard, and desired…

In Sugar Pine, Colorado, Emma Jacobs can sell you the perfect romance novel, but she can't write her own happy ending. When a rival bookstore threatens her beloved shop’s survival, she transforms it into The Pretty Pinecone, a haven for love stories, complete with wine tastings and poetry nights. There’s just one problem—Theo Baird, Sugar Pine's infuriatingly handsome yet uptight new sheriff. He’s determined to shut Emma down over every minor infraction.

What begins as a battle of wits quickly becomes an attraction neither can deny. As Emma’s Valentine’s Day event approaches, featuring anonymous love confessions and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s passionate verses, the line between adversaries and lovers begins to blur. But when disaster strikes, both must decide if they’re brave enough to risk their hearts on the most daring venture of all—falling in love.

LET ME COUNT THE WAYS is a sparkling, small-town romance about finding courage in poetry, passion in the unexpected, and the one person who makes breaking the rules worthwhile.
