Love in a Small Town

She's looking for some summer fun. He’s determined to resist her. It’s only a matter of time before someone melts.

I come to Burton, Georgia, for one simple reason—to spend my last college summer teaching art and maybe soak up a little sunshine before real life starts. What I don’t plan on is him.

Sam Reynolds. The grumpy, gorgeous farmer whose house is my home while I’m in Burton. He’s all broad shoulders, stubborn silences, and eyes that see too much. I tell myself a little summer fling is harmless—fun, temporary, easy.

But then he smiles. Then he kisses me. And suddenly, I’m dreaming about things I swore I’d never want.

This summer was supposed to be a detour, not a destination.

Resisting temptation? Impossible.

Falling for Sam? Scorching hot—and dangerously real.
