Meet Poppy's sister, Lark, in Unexpected Love (Sweetwater Valley Book 1) and meet Nash in Measured Love (Sweetwater Valley Book 2).** It is a standalone and exists in my small town Sweetwater Valley world. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. Still, I can’t ignore how much I want him to ask me to stay. I don’t have anything else to give anyone. He’s younger, he’s gruff and he has demons I don’t want to even begin to understand. Living next to Nash is only a temporary problem. I won’t be tied down to another man who needs someone to take care of them. My plan is to take some time, find who I am again, and then set out to find where I belong. The only place to go is to where family is which means Sweetwater Valley. I leave the life I’ve been living behind along with the man who needed a caretaker more than a partner. I’ll show her there’s only one place she should be-here with me. I’ll prove to her I can take care of myself…and her. She doesn’t want to take care of another person. I want to be her new beginning, but it’s not going to be easy. Then Poppy breezes into town full of sass and fire and curves looking like she needs a new beginning.

They only want to fix me, mother me, but I can stand on my own two feet. I’ve proven myself on the football field with a whistle around my neck and respect from the kids I coach.

I’ve accepted it and I think the town finally has as well. Part of me never came back to Sweetwater Valley. I came home different and not only because I lost half of my leg.
