Matilda's Wish. The Dun Roamin' Romantic Mysteries, #1

She inherited a farm she'd never heard of, from a great aunt she never knew existed. Broke, directionless, and fresh out of options, Tilly Lockhart has to live on two thousand acres of farmland for a full year before it's legally hers. One year with a neurotic miniature horse, a cockatoo with boundary issues, a one-eyed dog named Clifford - and a co-owner next door who looks nothing like she expected.
Noah McKenzie is patient, kind, and completely impossible to stop thinking about. But someone wants Tilly gone. The accidents keep piling up, the threats keep escalating, and a locked chest hidden in the old farmhouse holds a secret someone has been protecting for decades - a secret worth killing for. What she didn't expect was to find, in the most unlikely place, exactly where she belongs. Country air.
Chaotic animals. Found family. Slow-burn romance. And a mystery buried deep enough to burn the whole place down. Warm, funny, and impossible to put down
