  Sometimes you just need a road trip... I didn’t mean to stare at Adam Woodbury. And I definitely didn’t mean to assume he was homeless. But when you see a man in a small-town café eating like he hasn’t had a real meal in days, then sharing the last bite with his big golden retriever, it’s hard not to wonder. With his sun-streaked hair brushing his shoulders, scruffy face, flannel shirt torn at the elbows, faded jeans, and dusty boots, he looks like he stepped right out of one of those vagabond movies. The kind where the leading man carries secrets in his silence. Turns out, Adam isn’t lost. He’s searching—traveling the back roads of Georgia in a camper van, capturing the world through his camera lens while trying to outrun the ghosts of his past. I should’ve kept my distance. But somehow, this wandering soul with a love for the simple things in life has pulled me out of my comfort zone of real estate contracts and high heels, and into his world of open skies, campfires, and quiet...

  Sometimes you just need coffee. I’ve got my hands full with my kindergarten class in suburban Atlanta. But when my school turns into a film location for a movie, I’m thrilled to get a break so I can watch Hollywood heartthrob Ridge Wilson in action. The next thing I know, I’ve accidentally spilled coffee all over his expensive shirt. Instead of being mad and acting like an entitled celebrity, Ridge asks me to hang out with him in his private trailer. It’s only fitting I reciprocate and offer him a home-cooked meal at my house, right? I hardly notice his famous chiseled features and rock-hard biceps when it’s just the two of us. We definitely have chemistry, and when his film wraps, I’m stunned when he invites me to visit him in California during my fall break. While I’m there, my entire world is upended when he confesses a secret that could turn Hollywood into a paparazzi-feeding frenzy. Ridge doesn’t expect me to get mixed up in all his drama. And I don’t want to keep teetering ...

  Sometimes you just need flowers... It was supposed to be a routine meeting. A potential land sale that would give me the biggest commission of my career. The last thing I expected was a neurodivergent flower farmer who reminded me to slow down and enjoy life. Now, George Jamison threatens to knock me down a rung on my self-imposed climb up the corporate ladder when he keeps sliding into my thoughts with his wide grins and Southern charm. I hardly notice his social awkwardness and autistic tendencies when it’s just the two of us. And now, after ten of the most glorious days in country paradise, his touch and quiet strength have turned my world upside down. When I find out his grandfather is dying, I need to help George save the family farm, not sell it – even if it means giving up my career. But someone on the farm doesn’t want me to help George.
