The New York Times bestselling author of Spring Forward returns to Mystic Creek, Oregon, where an unlikely pair learn to open themselves up to love. Newcomer to the sheriff’s division Erin De Laney knows next to nothing at all about wilderness patrols, but she’s also under no circumstances been one to back off from challenging. So when a rude and persistent cowboy requires her by surprise on her initial time patrolling the hill trails being a part-time ranger, she lets him own it. Wyatt Fitzgerald doesn’t consider his about Strawberry Hill deafness a impairment and he doesn’t desire special thought from anyone–least of all, a spoiled town young lady like Erin. He prides himself on his capability to examine lips and when she confronts him, Wyatt sees no reason to volunteer to her that he’s deaf. But there’s no escaping one another in the tiny Oregon town, especially once Erin looks for him out to make amends. Wyatt gave up on dating way back when, but the created correspondence he and Erin begin to share speak to him like nothing else ever provides. Out of their tentative truce blossoms a opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime love if he’s willing to give her his center and make her his.
