Buck only has one rule: no lawyers. She's a lawyer.

Burned by experience, Buck's got a rule for a reason. After walking away from a lucrative legal position, he's found peace in Beckley. Farm life is simple, and his woodworking business is thriving. He's not interested in trading his work boots for wingtips and rejoining the rat race. He's ready to settle down, and she's the most compelling woman he's ever met. Even if she is a lawyer.

Nichelle has one requirement: no a✿✿holes. He's an a✿✿hole.

After a disastrous encounter in a trendy bar, Nichelle is convinced that he's a bulky mass of beard and bad attitude. She's got a sleek car, luxurious condo, and elegant designer clothes. Family comes first, and her legal career is on the fastest track. She's never met a problem she needed help solving, but he sees the painful truth beneath her polished façade. Even if he is an a✿✿hole.

They're perfect together. They just don't know it yet.
