Book One of the Hartwell Family

Set against the backdrop of small-town Briar Creek, this slow-burn country romance follows Dean Hartwell, a gruff, hardworking cowboy shouldering the weight of his family's ranch, and Hattie, determined to carve out her own place in her hometown. What starts as a clash of pride slowly unravels into a tender love story built on late-night confessions, stolen kisses, and the kind of devotion that refuses to be rushed. With humor, heartache, and a deep sense of home woven through every chapter, their story is a testament to second chances, family bonds, and finding the courage to risk it all for love.

She's got walls. So does he. But music has always been Colt's way of telling the truth-and Maisie might just be the song he's been too scared to write..
