Extension Line: A Small-Town Romance (Flint Hollow Book 2)

By Ale[X] M.

The verdict is due April 15. She was hired to say it out loud.

Nora Voss measures everything twice and trusts almost nothing twice: her father bet the family farm on somebody else's certainty and lost it at auction, so she built a career on replication instead of faith. When the county board hires her to deliver an independent public verdict on the local extension agent's drought-crop proposal, she arrives in Flint Hollow owing nobody anything, and every farmer in the hall knows that is exactly why they picked her.

Micah Auberon spent 9 years earning this town's trust one field walk at a time, and he asked for his own evaluator because a plan that cannot survive honest review does not deserve the county. His proposal asks farmers to change what they plant before the water runs out. Her protocol demands proof before anybody bets a farm on it. Between them sit 77 years of hand-kept rain logs, one contract window closing in May, and 10 acres each that could prove what neither can say alone.

77 years of rain logs, and a county that keeps restarting from zeroA skeptic paid to be fair, an advocate with everything staked on springA verdict due in public, on the record, no matter what it says

When the vote kills the plan and the deadline does not move, they build the version neither could write alone: test plots instead of half a county, replication grown locally, proof that walks the fields with the people betting on them. Somewhere between the fence line and the April microphone, testing each other turns into trusting each other.

Clean and closed-door romance, dual POV, a grumpy-sunshine slow burn with a guaranteed happy ending.

You find out what proof is worth when somebody stands behind it.
