William Clark IV never anticipated being back in his hometown. At least, not until he had a long and successful career as a pitcher in the major leagues. He couldnโ€™t have foreseen his career-ending injury right out of the gate or the painful return to his familyโ€™s apple farm in rural North Carolina. What started as an effort to get back on his feet turned into nearly a decade of going with the flow. Now the grumpy farmer is stuck in a resentful rut. Heโ€™s bitter and bearded, and baseball is a sore spot that never stops achingโ€”not when his well-meaning neighbors keep reminding him of everything he lost. ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฒโ€™๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป, ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต๐—ป๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ. Becca Kernsy never expected to fall in love with a town. To be fair, sheโ€™d never had much luck with men either. But the tiny hamlet of Kirby Falls completely blindsides this city girl and makes her ache for something sheโ€™s never had a place to belong. The residents are quirky and lovable. The setting is picturesque perfection. And it doesnโ€™t hurt that she keeps running into Will Clark and his faithful dog. Getting a reluctant smile out of the handsome farmer becomes her favorite pastime. But pretty soon, her innocent crush gets out of hand. Becca ignores the looming expiration date on her trip down south, and like a helpless cliche, she finds herself falling hard for the man she met on vacation. ๐—œ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—บ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด. Through small-town adventures and increasingly friendly outings, Will starts to remember the hometown he once loved. The only missing piece is the tourist whoโ€™s headed back to the city at the end of her stay. The one packing up and taking his heart on a six-hundred-mile journey home. ๐˜‰๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ #1 ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜’๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ-๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜บ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต. โ€˜๐˜›๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ง ๐˜๐˜ตโ€™ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ญ...

Candace Judd is part of a legacy. One she up and left when she turned eighteen. While she spent the last seven years collecting degrees and achieving her dreams, her familyโ€™s apple farm moved on without her. But now sheโ€™s back and nothing about Kirby Falls is how she remembers itโ€”including her familyโ€™s newest employee, a certifiable blast from the past. A quiet boy turned flannel-covered mountain man and her distractingly handsome coworker. Mark Mercer leads a quiet life. He works at Juddโ€™s Orchard. He keeps his head down and avoids the gossip thatโ€™s been chasing him around since his divorce. But when his high school crush returns to Kirby Falls unexpectedly, he realizes there is nothing more humbling than having the past come back to bite you. Or even worse, forget you altogether. Desperate to prove herself, Candace works to find her footing with her family while Mark struggles with the desire to hide himself away. When she takes the time to really look, Candace discovers more than an ally in the rugged farmer. As days at the orchard become nights spent together under the stars, Mark begins to see that his dream girl is more than the prom queen he remembers. While life shines brighter with Candace by his side, Mark must decide if heโ€™d rather live in the shadows or face his fears once and for all. ๐˜‰๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ #2 ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜’๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ-๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ, ๐˜ด๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ-๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ญ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฉ. โ€˜๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ง ๐˜๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜”๐˜ฆโ€™ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ-๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ค ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ, ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ.

Leaf and Let Die

2025

Thereโ€™s a thin line between love and hate, and these two walk it like a tightrope. Brady Judd and MacKenzie Clark have been enemies for as long as anyone in Kirby Falls can remember. Their neighboring farms have been fierce competitors for years, fueling the fire between them. From adolescent pranks to social media battles, the pair have taken their feuding too far a time or two. So no one is more surprised than the rivals themselves when a sudden kiss and a scorching attraction change everything in an instant. Mac would like to believe their fling will burn itself out, but the more time she and Brady spend not fighting, the harder it is to admit the truth. That maybe their hatred was a smoke screen all along. Roles shift and expectations change when a lifelong rivalry makes way for something more, but these stubborn hearts must learn to surrender before they go up in flames. Book #3 in the Kirby Falls small-town contemporary series follows the steamy, rivals-to-lovers romance between a dirty-talking golden retriever and the last person he ever thought heโ€™d fall for. โ€˜Leaf and Let Dieโ€™ is a full-length romantic comedy filled with humor, heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
