The Home Paddock - Laurelle Cousins

Hughey Chalmers is the nicest guy in Forest Gully, and that might be his biggest downfall. Nice won't help him win over Meg Sommers, the sharp-tongued barista he's loved forever, or convince her to join his bold business idea that could finally put their sleepy town on the map.

Meg has spent a lifetime keeping Hughey at arm's length. In Forest Gully, memories are long, forgiveness is rare, and one saucy scandal has already ruined a family name. Getting close to Hughey risks reopening old wounds she's worked hard to bury. Desire is dangerous. Hope is even worse.

But when a meddling stray cat intervenes, sparks fly, secrets surface, and the future starts to look dangerously tempting. As Hughey fights to rebuild from the ashes and Meg faces the truth about what she truly wants, Forest Gully may never be the same.

Can attraction, and a little feline interference, be enough to rewrite their story?
