I came home different and not only because I lost half of my leg. Part of me never came back to Sweetwater Valley. I’ve accepted it and I think the town finally has as well. They no longer look at me with pity.
I’ve proven myself on the football field with a whistle around my neck and respect from the kids I coach. I don’t need or want a woman in my life. They only want to fix me, mother me, but I can stand on my own two feet. Well, one foot and one prosthetic.
Then Poppy breezes into town full of sass and fire and curves looking like she needs a new beginning. I want to be her new beginning, but it’s not going to be easy. I can see it in her eyes. She doesn’t want to take care of another person. I’ll prove to her I can take care of myself…and her. I’ll show her there’s only one place she should be—here with me.
POPPY
I’m tired and fed up. I leave the life I’ve been living behind along with the man who needed a caretaker more than a partner. The only place to go is to where family is which means Sweetwater Valley.
My plan is to take some time, find who I am again, and then set out to find where I belong. Just me and my dogs. I won’t be tied down to another man who needs someone to take care of them. Never again.
Living next to Nash is only a temporary problem. He’s younger, he’s gruff and he has demons I don’t want to even begin to understand. I don’t want anything to do with him. I don’t have anything else to give anyone. Still, I can’t ignore how much I want him to ask me to stay.
*18+. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone and exists in my small town Sweetwater Valley world. Meet Poppy's sister, Lark, in Unexpected Love (Sweetwater Valley Book 1) and meet Nash in Measured Love (Sweetwater Valley Book 2).*”
