Teaching fourth grade at Maplehaven Elementary School deep in the woods of Vermont is Leah Greensteadβs chance to hide and heal. It hurt too much to stay in New York City where every corner cafΓ©, every friend, every sunrise reminded her of all sheβd lost. Some people get to have everything theyβve ever wanted. Some donβt. Leah will stick to her rules about not getting close to anyoneβabout not falling in love againβand preserve what little is left of her heart.
Except Dakota Brenton sets his sights on Leah. Maplehavenβs most beloved adventure guide isnβt easy to resist either. And he knows it. He uses his sense of humor, his charming family, and mathematical dirty talk to make it difficult for Leah to ignore him. Letting him in, however, is a big risk. If she dates him, she might like him. If she likes him, she might love him. If she loves himβ¦ she might lose him.
Is one kind heart enough to change Leahβs mind about love?

Christine DePetrilloΒ can often be found hugging trees, conversing with dragonflies, and walking barefoot through βsun-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 Rhode Island and occasionally Vermont with her packβa husband, a cat, and a big, black German Shepherd who defends her fiercely from all evils.
