Heat In The Hayloft

Carla Duvall never planned on inheriting her families farm, or the loneliness that came with it. Her days are filled with milking cows, caring for chickens, fixing fences, and pretending she doesn't hear the gossip that follows her wherever she goes. Then Rowan Maddox drives back into town -- the milkman with a reputation for never staying put. He's charming, infuriatingly kind, and far too familiar.

Once, years ago, they'd been inseparable, until one kiss got them torn apart. Now he's back to help repair the barn, and Carla can't ignore the pull between them. The more time they spend together, the harder it gets to hide her feelings, and the harder it is to forget that he always leaves. In a town where everyone talks and nothing stays secret for long, Carla must decide what's worth holding onto: her grief, her pride, or the man who keeps showing up when the world feels too heavy to bear.
