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.

Faking With You
Romance Trope: fake dating. When he offers to be my fake fiancé to get my parents off my back, I don't take into consideration what could happen once we start acting the part of being in a relationship. It feels like a safe plan since it's Finn, the goofy playboy not looking for anything serious, but the more layers I peel back, the more I discover about the real man hiding behind the sarcasm and witty retorts. And when we decide to take the relationship into the bedroom, stripping off more than just our clothes, I find it harder and harder to protect myself. The only control I seem to have is my one rule: no kissing. But I have a confession: I maybe, kind of, sort of (read: really fucking badly) want him to kiss me. Once that final barrier is breached, though, then what? Surely the fake status of our relationship can't be more than just that - fake. Right? [This is BOOK THREE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.]Complete

Milk Honey & Her
▪️COSY ROMANCE▪️ "Some things can't wait indeed..." Elias leaned just slightly closer. "But maybe some moments are worth bad timing," he murmured, his tone carrying a weight that made her chest tighten. "What do you mean?" Cora stifled a whimper. He let out a quiet breath, eyes still on hers as his hand fell to his side, "This moment. Us. It'll find its time." **** When Cora Whitmore leaves behind a high-stress publishing job and a broken engagement, all she wants is stillness. Inheriting her late aunt's ramshackle countryside cottage seems like a sign; from whom, she's not sure, but it comes with ivy-covered walls, creaky floors, and a garden overrun with wild things. Just across the fence lives Elias Tidley, a reclusive goat keeper who spends his days making goat milk soap, honeyed cheeses and speaking mostly to animals. Stoic, grounded, and unreadable, he's everything Cora isn't, and yet somehow, he sees her. Not the version she tried to be in the city, but who she is now: messy, uncertain, and just beginning to bloom again. With help from a few mischievous goats and a community that quietly welcomes her in, Cora starts to imagine a life made of early peaceful mornings, soft-spoken companionship, and small, steady joys. But as the seasons shift and their bond deepens, Cora must decide whether she's brave enough to stay. For the land, for herself and for the man who never asked her to change a single thing.? 🔅Rated PG: Suitable for all ages. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image from Canva © All rights reserved 2025 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.Complete
