The small mountain town of Nugget, California, is way off the beaten path. But somehow it helps the lost and lonely find a new beginning in lifeโand in loveโฆ
One solitary day at a time is the only way cookbook writer Emily Mathews can restart her lifeโand cope with consuming loss. Still, the former city girl is finding all kinds of odd inspiration and advice from Nugget's proudly eccentric residents on everything from new recipes to opening her heart again. Especially when it comes to her rugged rancher landlord โฆ
His no-drama new tenant is the first break Clay McCreedy has had in a long time. He's got his hands full enough dealing with his wife's scandalous death and his sons' unresolved grief. Clay can't help but be drawn to Emily's quiet understanding and strength. When their fragile trust turns into passionate healing, he longs for much more. And when both their pasts come calling, heโs determined not to walk awayโฆ
