A MUST-READ heartfelt and steamy strangers-to-lovers, small-town, cowboy romance ________________________ Dallas What happens when you find yourself falling for the only woman you shouldn’t? My brother and I have raised my daughter since I lost my wife three years ago. We are a team; a trio of unstoppable underdogs. I live and breathe my farm, my town, and the people who live here – throwing myself into anything I can to avoid remembering what happened. Well, it worked. Until she came along. Annabeth Harrington, the unexpected, pink-haired pixie that spins my mind and throws caution to the wind. I thought she was too much, too soon, and too wild, but she was everything my daughter and I needed to light up our lives. My little firefly. Annabeth Question: Is dating the father of one of my students off limits? Answer: Yes. Escaping to Hawks Hollow and taking a job at the local primary school was the change of scenery I needed, and my new roommate has been my ride-or-die since the day I set foot in this town. Everything is simple here. The cows moo, the sun sets, and everyone drinks bourbon for breakfast. So nothing could have prepared me for the moment Dallas Northlane strolled into my classroom to pick up his daughter and took my every waking thought out with him. Now, I’m obsessed with a cowboy almost twice my age and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. ________________________ TROPES: Small Town Romance Cowboy/Western Strangers to Lovers Widower/Single Dad MMC Alt/Music Teacher FMC Found Family Rural Australian Setting Age Gap Dual POV Book 1 Of A Duet ________________________ Author Note: Finding Northlane is written in Australian English.
