Before We Fell. Love in the Heartland

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The horror that rocked my small town last winter also brought Noah Wilkes into my life. The first almost broke all of us, but the second changed everything. He stomped into my classroom all angry scowls and rudeness, the big-shot lawyer who was always too good for this small town. But the moment his smile softened toward his niece, it was me that melted. The heartbreak that brought him back also brought me closer to him, to the man he hides from the world behind his swagger and aggression.
The man I couldn't help but fall for. But life has a way of throwing a curveball when you least expect it, and this one could cost me everything--even him. Turned out, our fates were written in the sky before we ever met-Before we fell.
