Ashford Creek

With one scowl, I fell just that much harder for Callum Ashford—NFL star turned small town brewer. He’s not only older, but he’s my brother’s best friend. Two very important reasons I should stay away. Only two years ago, after the worst night of my life, he kissed me and I can’t keep him off my mind. When the only house available to rent in town happens to be the one across the street from him, the close proximity does its work. We can’t keep our hands off each other. Yet as the heat rises, so do feelings.

When Kiera West needs a place to hide from the media and her ex, she never thought Bodhi Ashford—the man the small town of Ashford Creek once thought a murderer—would be her salvation. The reclusive, bearded, mountain man has secrets of his own and with one growl, she knew she’d be safe. Sure, he might only talk to her to ask who hurt her, but at least the quiet will let her heal. When the elusive drummer from one of the biggest rock bands in the world shows up on Bodhi’s doorstep, he needs her to leave yesterday. As soon as he sees the bruises, he knows she needs to stay.

Atlas Carter has it all. One of the best careers in the NHL as a star goalie. A family that sacrificed everything to get him where he is. And a small town that praises him as their golden boy. What he doesn’t have is the girl he left behind. But when Atlas gets hurt and is forced to spend his recovery in Ashford Creek, he finally has a second chance. Elizabeth loves her life—her small town, her family, and her job. Only she knows she can’t love Atlas Carter. They parted ways for a reason, and those who judge her from her town don’t need to know the truth.
