With Love From Rose Bend — Naima Simone

He came to Rose Bend to hide. But she'll help him find everything he's been missing.

Leontyne Dennison is on a love hiatus. And that's just fine, because perfectionist Leo is hyperfocused on the success of her family's Berkshires inn. Volunteering for Rose Bend's annual spring festival is certain to boost business -- and provide the perfect distraction from men -- until Leo comes face-to-face with Owen Stafford, the hottest one-night stand of her life.

A retired professional football player, Owen came to Rose Bend to escape after a devastating car accident ended his career. Enter the woman he hasn't forgotten in the year since their sizzling night together. When Owen's parents arrive, threatening his low profile, Leo helps keep the peace by pretending to be Owen's girlfriend. Rose Bend was never part of Owen's long game, but Leo's increasingly convincing TLC is starting to give Owen every reason to stay.
