When his wife died, Reese was sure he’d never love again. Then he met Shelby.
Widowed horse and cattle farmer Reese Blackwood does not need a keeper. Not for himself or his two sons. They can manage just fine on their own. At least that’s what he keeps telling everybody, especially himself.
Elementary school teacher Shelby Corbett is no pushover. Just ask anyone who has seen how easily she handles a classroom full of boisterous kids. So spending the summer break looking after Reese’s two energetic boys is totally within her wheelhouse.
Which shocks Reese completely.
That’s only the first surprise, though. The second is the undeniable attraction that sparks between them. An attraction that’s totally unexpected but becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. As she helps Reese reconnect with his boys, Shelby shines a light into his dark and lonely world, bringing hope to his broken and grieving heart.
Hope that Reese fears will be lost again when Shelby’s six-week stay at Lone Oaks is over.
Unless he’s willing to risk everything by asking her to stay.
About The Author
Isabelle writes sweet to steamy contemporary romance primarily set in small-town Americana. Her books are full of heart, humor, and all the feels. So, if you like strong heroines, swoon-worthy heroes, snappy dialogue, and happily-ever-afters, you’ve come to the right place.
When not writing, Isabelle enjoys spending time with family and friends, watching movies and her favorite TV shows, and playing card and board games. Though she continues to work as a part-time adjunct college professor, Isabelle recently retired from public education (teaching in a pandemic was NO joke), where she taught Family and Consumer Sciences (formerly Home Economics) to high schoolers at her alma mater.
Isabelle lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in wild, wonderful West Virginia with her family and rescue Pomeranian, Bella.
