Mathew & River: A Wholesome Small-Town Romance (Taylors of Copper Creek Book 1)

He’s a workaholic ER doctor with no time for love. She’s the wild-hearted mechanic who makes him want something more.

Dr. Mathew Klein already has enough on his plate with long shifts at the small-town hospital and helping care for his mother. After a painful divorce, he’s convinced love is a distraction he can’t afford.

Then a green-eyed stranger collides with him and disappears before he can even learn her name. Mathew tells himself he’ll forget her soon enough. But when his cousins call him out to their ranch to patch up the new mechanic, he walks in to find the woman he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about.

River Brooks learned early on not to depend on anyone. Aged out of the foster system, she landed a job on the Taylor family farm and finally found a place to belong. She isn't looking for love. She’d rather keep her hands busy fixing engines than risk another heartbreak.

But Mathew keeps finding reasons to be near her, and the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend they’re only friends.

When family tragedy strikes and Mathew’s polished ex-wife returns to Copper Creek, River is sure she knows how this story ends. She refuses to wait around for it to happen again. Will Mathew be able to prove her wrong before she leaves Copper Creek for good?
