And I Love Her Still

It's 1988, and Kenny has just landed her dream job with the US Forest Service. Not many women are accepted on engine crews, but she has proven herself the last two years as a seasonal wildland firefighter. Adin, California is a small town with wonderful people, and she is ready to call this place home. Losing her good friend Mitchell earlier in the year was a tough blow, to not just to her, but to the whole town. Now, in addition to the chauvinistic rookie, Ryan, who is on the engine crew and giving her grief at every turn, Kenny has to deal with the handsome stranger now living at Mitchell's ranch.Best-selling author Patrick Smith is struggling with his life and what comes next. When he learns he's inherited some property from a great-uncle he never knew, he jumps at the opportunity to start a new life. But moving to the small, rural town of Adin, California, where his uncle was a legend is more complicated than he anticipated. The townspeople seem to hate him, he has no idea what to do with a ranch, and his publisher is expecting another hit series. Will he find the inspiration he needs among the sage brush and grumpy townsfolk, or...will he find love?
