I never meant to be anyoneās heroine.
Not when I became the acting mayor of my hometown after the flood.
Not when I kept my law practice afloat out of a booth in my grandmotherās diner.
And definitely not when my secret romantasy novels went viral.
Nobody in Gibson Hollow knows Iām the author behind the pen name.
And nobody was supposed to kiss me at that book conventionāleast of all my brotherās best friend, cosplaying the hero he doesnāt know I modeled after him.
Now Ramsey Shaw is back in town. Volunteering. Smiling at me like Iām not on the verge of shattering.
Like he remembers the kiss. Like he sees the truth.
Iāve spent my whole life being strong. Quiet. In control.
But for the first time, I donāt want to be any of those things.
I just want to be his.
In a town held together by hope and heart, itās the people who show up that make it shine.
