When Mouse Met Duck

By Kira Lorne

Lauren Bradford didn't come to town looking for love. She came to escape-fresh off a breakup, newly relocated, and trying not to cry in public when the cereal aisle gets too existential. Her plans? Stay busy, stay guarded, and definitely don't flirt with anyone who fixes things for a living.

Then came Duck.

Quiet, steady, and full of slow smiles, Duck is the kind of man who builds selfie stages out of pallets, brings fried chicken to first dates, and knows how to kiss without rushing a thing. He's not flashy. He's not perfect. But he shows up. And that's new.

Lauren's not used to slow. Or kind. Or safe. But somewhere between Sonic shakes, flirty glances, and the case of the mysteriously missing underwear, she starts to believe in second chances-and maybe even the kind of love that lets you be exactly who you are.

When Mouse Met Duck is a small-town, soft-hearted romance about awkward beginnings, hard-won joy, and what happens when two people finally feel seen.
