Country Roads

Micah Robertson came to Bellmere to sell a farmhouse. He never expected to find a reason to stay. When Micah inherits a crumbling farmhouse in tiny Bellmere, Missouri, his plan is simple: fix what he has to, sell it, and get back to Chicago. His life has already fallen apart once. He has no intention of rebuilding it in a town where everybody knows everybody-and everybody's business. Then his Jeep breaks down in a thunderstorm.
Luke Greenly has spent years keeping his world small and manageable. He runs his late father's auto shop, keeps his head down, and avoids wanting anything that might ask too much of him. Then Micah Robertson walks into his garage soaking wet, sarcastic, and impossible to ignore. What begins as a temporary stay turns into summer nights, candlelit kitchens, small-town gossip, unexpected laughter, and a connection neither man knows how to walk away from.
And while Micah slowly restores the old farmhouse, he begins to wonder if he's rebuilding something else too. Because sometimes a house-and a heart-just needs someone willing to see the good bones underneath.
