COLE All I wanted to do was take my grandma to the crafts festival. Instead, I accidentally save someone’s life and end up on the front page of the Spruce Press. That’s not all. The person whose life I save happens to be my childhood crush Noah Reed. I’m hardly an example of perfection. But now they’re organizing a pageant featuring the town’s hottest bachelors and I’m number one on the list. But I’m not interested in any other guys. I’m seeing the bigger picture—with Noah. And I’d better find a way to tell him soon before this whole thing gets out of hand. NOAH Feelings were never my thing. I don’t understand them. Even friendships are confusing to me. The world only makes sense from behind the camera lens, fitting everything into a perfect frame. That frame shatters the second Cole Harding becomes my next project. And he wants me to cover his story. I can’t make sense out of how I feel. Nor can I rationalize why the dashing, popular, and "beloved town treasure" Cole would want to spend so much time around an awkward and forgettable nobody like me. I only write the headlines. I’m not supposed to become one. ✔️ M/M "secret romance" ✔️ Shy recluse & popular guy ✔️ Small-town Have you read all the books in the Spruce Texas series?
