One Kind Tree
About this ebook
Doctor Ryder Wallace is on a mission to plant trees and slow climate change. All he needs is more money to keep his initiatives going. Fortunately, Ryder has a meeting with a philanthropist to plead for funding. What he doesn't have is a significant other. According to an article he's read about this investor, he's going to need one in order to convince the man to fork over the dollars. Problem is, Ryder can't talk to women like his charming brother can. How is he supposed to build a relationship in time for the meeting that could save his life's work?
After tragedy strikes on his way to Vermont, Ryder finds exactly what he needs. Her name is Brooke Rayhill. Compassionate, generous, and able to turn him on even when his heart is broken, Brooke is a ray of sunshine in a stormy time. When she agrees to be his fake fiancée, Ryder's mission is back on track. But not everyone is thrilled with Ryder's plans to save the planet. A random accident doesn't seem so random anymore, and being with Ryder puts Brooke in danger. What she feels for him, however, runs deep into the soil. She's not ready to dig it up and throw it all away.

About the author
Christine DePetrillo can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through sun-warmed soil. She finds joy in listening to the wind, bathing in moonlight, and breathing in the fragrances of things that bloom. If she had her way, the sky would be the only roof over her head.
Her love of nature seeps into every story she tells. As does her obsession with bearded mountain men who build, often smell like sawdust, and know how to cherish the women they love. Today she writes tales meant to make you laugh, maybe make you sweat, and definitely make you believe in the power of love.
She lives in Vermont with her husband and many woodland creatures who defend her fiercely from all evils.
