Denim & Diamonds

The board of directors at her New York City company orders her to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge. She responds by climbing out of the bedroom window at night and heading to the local bar. One evening she drinks so much that the owner carries her upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.

She wakes to a taxidermy moose head on the wall and a man she thinks is the best-looking she has ever seen. Brock Hawkins owns half of Meadowbrook, builds log cabins with his own hands and is the most eligible man in town. Under the rugged surface, he is soft-hearted.

She is the wrong woman for him to fall for, and he is the wrong man for her. Her stay is temporary, and her life in New York is the opposite of his. He is denim, she is diamonds. Even so, she keeps wearing his plaid shirt around her shoulders and cannot picture leaving him behind.

This standalone romance is told in the first person by the narrator, with a light, flirtatious tone and a small-town setting. Being with Brock would have to be all or nothing. Choosing to go big could also cost her, when Brock's life takes a turn neither of them expected.
