From the author of the Holiday Countdown Series comes a hilarious and heartfelt small-town rom-com about second chances, unexpected love, and hope that blooms when you least expect it.
She used to have it all-champagne nights, designer bags, and a steady stream of men happy to foot the bill. But when her latest relationship crashes and burns, Valerie does the only sensible thing: steal her ex-husband's motorhome and make a break for it. Her escape plan sputters to a halt in the Missouri Ozarks-just outside the sleepy town of Willow Glen.
With no money, no plan, and no way to leave, she accepts a deal from a rugged local: she can have a place to stay and a job at his family's tree farm...if she pretends to be his girlfriend to keep his match-making mama at bay. But playing pretend gets a whole lot more complicated when the rest of the family gets involved.
Now stuck between a fake romance, a very real paycheck, and feelings she never saw coming, Valerie must figure out how to rebuild her life from the ground up-without high heels, handouts, or heartbreak.
Can a woman who's lost everything find herself in a town that has nothing to offer but love, roots, and the kind of healing money can't buy? Find out in this laugh-out-loud, clean, and wholesome romantic comedy about finding love, finding home, and finally finding yourself.
