Hidden Fears

...Finding home in a person never felt so thrilling...

"Well, that was unexpected. Kenneth Benson can f**k like an animal."

Josie:

I've made my living on building homes for others while never truly having one of my own. Getting the call for a project in Little Hope gives me just that-a little hope that I may find somewhere I love enough to set up roots.

But my hopes get crushed as obstacle after obstacle threatens my peace. From the bears and the locals that don't trust newcomers, to the biggest, most annoying of them all: the local Sheriff.

A massive, sarcastic man with a hero complex the size of Maine itself.

Sheriff Benson wants the world to know he's a proper gentleman, but I see right through him. His bark is large, but he doesn't scare me. There's a bad boy inside of him, just biding his time until he's set free.

Kenneth:

I like order. Rules. I like my town and my simple life. And I have those things.

Until a hurricane on heels speeds through my streets, shattering those to pieces.

She's loud. She's rude. She's a city girl who doesn't belong in this small town.

I just want her to leave me alone...

But why do I find that my life suddenly seems too quiet? Too boring?

He wanted peace, but he didn't need it. All it took was her to show him.
