The Stubborn Lumberjack

A Sweet Grumpy/Sunshine Small Town Romance

By: Jo Chandler

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When the town's no-nonsense occupational therapist meets a grumpy ex-military construction worker with a traumatic brain injury, sparks fly.

Sophie Jensen has built her career helping people adapt to life's challenges, but stubborn lumberjack Gage Hawkins might be her toughest case yet. After an IED explosion left him with partial vision loss, the former Air Force pararescueman has withdrawn from the world—until Sophie refuses to let him quit on himself.

Assigned to help Gage integrate back into his construction crew, Sophie finds herself drawn to the proud, defensive man behind the gruff exterior. As their therapy sessions turn into something deeper, Sophie begins to see past Gage's limitations to the capable, caring man he's always been.

But when Gage's fears threaten to tear them apart, both must confront the biggest challenge of their lives—learning to trust love when everything feels uncertain.

Set in the tight-knit community of Collins Ridge, Montana, this heartwarming romance proves that sometimes the best relationships are built on accepting each other exactly as you are—flaws, fears, and all.
