Four brothers. One small town. And a past that just won't let her go. • • • Benny Lane didn't come to Cedar Creek to make friends. She came to disappear. After years trapped in the shadow of an abusive marriage, all she wants is quiet, safety, and a chance to remember who she is without someone telling her who to be. But small towns don't let strangers slip by unnoticed. Especially not when four protective brothers seem to be everywhere she turns. Beckett, with his quiet watchfulness. Sawyer and Dawson, with their easy banter that chips away at her walls. And Wells, the sheriff, whose steady stare makes her pulse race for all the wrong reasons. They see more than she wants them to. They see her fear. Her secrets. And maybe-just maybe-the woman she's fighting to be again. Benny came to Cedar Creek to hide. But what if she's found something worth healing for? ••• **completed** a small town slow burn why choose cowboy romance ••• #1 in #WhyChoose #2 in #smalltown #3 in #cowboy/s #3 in #reverseharem

"I'm yours, Aaron." Tropes: Badboy x Goodgirl Rich mmc x scholarship student fmc Kill anyone who touches her (literally) 👀 HEA
