Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A warm, funny small-town romance where a scarred veteran and a big-city journalist slowly tear down each other's walls, wrapped in a community you'll want to move to.

Synopsis

“I can’t wait anymore.” His mouth claimed hers in a storm of heat and power. Carter Pierce is a man who believes in signs. He just doesn't know what to do with this one. In the small town of Blue Moon Bend, where everybody is a matchmaker, Carter wants to be left alone to tend the family farm. After returning from Afghanistan with scars, his only goal is recovery. He doesn't need any distractions, and definitely not one with silver-blonde hair and lips that beg to be kissed. Summer Lentz is a journalist from the city sent to interview Carter and his family. She's out of place in the small town, with her designer wardrobe and workaholic lifestyle. She asks too many questions and doesn't take no for an answer, threatening to destroy the peace and balance that Carter has been working towards. She thwarts every attempt Carter makes to retreat back inside himself, somehow bringing him closer to being whole again. Summer has secrets of her own, but she never planned to open up to anyone - let alone the scowling, secretive farm owner whose story she's after. But as she gets drawn into the community, she starts to realize that she can't stay closed off forever. And what's more, she doesn't want to. As Carter and Summer grow closer, will they be able to push past the secrets that are holding both of them back?

At a Glance

Book 1 of 8 in the Blue Moon series. Carter is an Afghanistan veteran with PTSD running the family farm; Summer is the big-city journalist sent to interview him. Dual third-person POV. Steamy with emotional depth—the spice is loving and connected, not just heat. Blue Moon Bend is a quirky small town full of matchmakers. Series is complete at 8 books, each featuring different couples. Audiobook narrator corrected from Melissa Moran to Lila Winters (verified via Audible). CW for child death is referenced in backstory, not on-page.
