Falling for the Grumpy Billionaire Across the Road ... Or Not!

By Gayle M Irwin

He's running from the spotlight. She's protecting her grandparents' legacy. Neither expected to fall in love.

Sought-after, but now reclusive, actor Blake Scott trades his oceanside California life for a fixer-upper house in western Montana. He wants one thing: solitude. What he encounters instead is a boisterous rooster named Russell Crow, a donkey in labor, and a woman across the road who is impossible to ignore.

Lilly Warren pours everything into the farm her grandparents built. She cherishes her family and friends, her rescue animals, the greenhouse business, and the land she refuses to lose to the highest bidder. She has no time for secrets, and even less for a man who seems to be keeping them.

But the quiet, guarded stranger keeps showing up - building shelves, assisting her with her pregnant donkey, and making her laugh when she least expects to. Somewhere between a fall from a ladder, a bracelet of hammered silver and turquoise, and three dogs that refuse to choose sides, will two people who weren't looking find love anyway?

In the shadow of the Bitterroot Mountains, sometimes the life you weren't looking for turns out to be the one you need.
