Josie I came to Wild Briar Creek to save the town’s struggling festival. Ethan Callahan is determined to stop me. He makes it clear I don’t belong here. That this land, this town, everything in it is his to protect. Too bad I’m not backing down . Because the more he pushes, the harder I push back. And somewhere between the arguments and the sparks, this stops feeling like a job… and starts feeling like something I can’t control. Ethan I don’t trust outsiders. And I don’t trust Josie Harper. She wants to change things. My town. My family’s legacy. Not happening. But the harder I fight her, the closer she gets. Under my skin. Into my head. Because Josie isn’t just a problem. She’s a temptation I can’t seem to walk away from. In a town built on loyalty and tradition, some battles were never meant to be won. And once you’re tethered to someone… letting go isn’t an option.
