Crossing County Lines

Twenty-six-year-old Mackenzie Lynn Watson-known to everyone as Kenzie-has built her life around hard work. During the day, she pours her heart into helping children at the local elementary school, where every smile reminds her why she loves her job. At night, she slips on a different uniform, working behind the bar at a small-town tavern to pay the bills and keep a roof over her head.

She's exhausted, but she's making it.

Then one ordinary night changes everything.

A handsome stranger walks into the bar while passing through town. His name is Jaxon Bennett. Dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, he seems like any other traveler looking for a meal and a place to unwind before continuing his drive home.

Kenzie has no idea that Jaxon is actually a police officer.

She doesn't know he works for a sheriff's department in another county.

She doesn't even know he'll be gone before the sun comes up.

Jaxon, meanwhile, only knows Kenzie as the sweet bartender who made him laugh after one of the longest weeks of his career. He never imagines that, once the sun rises, she'll trade her apron for a classroom full of eager elementary school students.

Neither one asks enough questions.

Neither one expects to never see the other again.

One unforgettable night turns into one heartbreaking goodbye, with no exchanged phone numbers, no social media, and no way to find each other.

Weeks later, Kenzie finds herself standing alone in her bathroom, staring at a positive pregnancy test.

As she struggles to figure out what comes next, Jaxon can't shake the memory of the woman from that little roadside bar. He doesn't know her last name. He doesn't know where she really works. He doesn't even know she's carrying the child they created together.

Two strangers.

Two counties apart.

One life-changing secret.

Will fate give Kenzie and Jaxon a second chance to find each other... or will the greatest love story of their lives end as nothing more than a memory of one unforgettable night?
