Callie Marsh has learned to do everything on her own. After Eli's father walked out before their son was even born, she packed up her life and drove north to Juniper Falls, Montana β chasing a fresh start, a steady job, and a quiet life where no one else could leave her. What she didn't plan on was her neighbor. Mason Holt is the kind of man small towns are built around β steady, loyal, and rooted to the land his family has worked for three generations. He's also been burned before, by a woman who wanted the idea of his life without the reality of it. He knows better than to want something he can't hold onto. But from the moment Callie's two-year-old son Eli grabs his finger on her front porch and refuses to let go, Mason can't seem to stay away. And Callie β who has every reason not to trust again β is running out of reasons to keep her distance. As the Montana summer unfolds, what begins as neighborly kindness slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. Something that feels, terrifyingly, like home. But loving someone means trusting them to stay. And that's the one thing Callie doesn't know how to do. Β© All Rights Reserved

Obsidian: He's hilarious. Like, actually. I loved it. You're writing style is great, although you could do with a few less murmurs and mutters.
