Set in his ways after his wife left years ago, Wyatt Brooks is not looking for any change. Hes focused on two things-raising his sixteen year old daughter, Bailey, and running his dads ranch. Its simple and quiet with just the two of them. Just the way he likes things.
Enter Sadie Blake.
She's pregnant, freshly single, and an absolute chatter box. Sadie is everything Wyatt isn't.
She left the city for a new start, settling in Oak Hallow at the old, rundown farmhouse Wyatts' mom rents out at the edge of the property. Sadie was born in the city, never having stepped foot on a farm once in her life but, shes carefree enough to take everything with a spoonful of sugar.
Including renovating the farm house completely on her own, six months pregnant.
When Bailey insists that her dad go out and help her one day as Sadie is, very wrongly, hammering a post of her fence, Wyatt gives in.
Fixing her fence post quickly turns into helping renovate the entire farm house.
Wyatt knew to not get involved. She was fine on her own-pregnant or not-and Sadie made that very clear.
But when renovations turn into late night porch conversations, laughs after something falls apart, and lingering touches, will Wyatt be able to steer clear of the spontaneous, loud and bubbly distraction a few hundred feet away on the ranch? Or will Sadie show him that love grows here too?

Two Different Lives (AU)
Darcy Pierce was a normal girl, living in the big city. She wanted to have a quiet life, and the only way for her to do that was to leave and move to a small town in Texas. Darcy knew her parents wouldn't be happy, nor would her brothers, sisters, and niece, but she wanted to get away. Jeremy Renner was a closed off man that stayed to himself. He and his little girl lived on a farm, and he took care of the farm and sold eggs and whatever plants he harvested on his land. He was very busy, but he wasn't one to ask people for help. Darcy moved to a small set of homes about five miles from Jeremy's farm, so when she sees him at a local farmer's market, no one is surprised. He was always there selling things, he just wasn't one to talk to everyone in town. He had a select few friends, and that was it. Everyone knew everyone though, so when Darcy and Jeremy begin to hang out the entire town begins to gossip...Complete
