Looking for a fresh start, widowed sheriff Dax Adams arrives in town — only to be confounded by his new neighbour, veterinarian Violet Spencer. When his family mistakes her for his girlfriend, he begs her to play along to convince them he’s open to new beginnings. And though he and Violet don’t initially see eye to eye, she agrees — if only to get her well-meaning sisters to stop matchmaking. But as they grow closer, it’s clear that even these two reluctant hearts can’t stop a fake relationship from turning into something real...

Earning The Veteran’s Trust - Lisa Jordan

After leaving the navy, Mallory Stone plans to buy her best friend’s fruit farm, a safe place to raise her son and adopt senior dogs like her dear Rosie. Until her ex-husband, Jonah Hayes, drops a bombshell: he wants the same farm...and they’re still legally married. A trial partnership running the farm means the former marine can get to know the son he just met — and prove to Mallory he’s changed. As old feelings resurface, can Mallory open her heart for a chance at the future she’s always wanted?
