I absolutely fell in love with Teagan and Aaron from page one. These two characters are so perfect for each other and don’t always have an easy road when it came to their relationship.

With Teagan’s fathers girlfriend moving in she takes this as a sign to finally move out and live her own life. She heads to Pearl Lake to live in the apartment above her brother and future sister-in-law’s garage. In a short amount of time, she has found several jobs and enjoying putting her own touches on her new home. Aaron is a Pearl Lake resident and hired by Van to finish up the construction of the apartment. He isn’t a fan of the spoiled rich woman and the moment he meets Teagan he dislikes her based on a preconceived notion.

There is no shortage of chemistry between these two. However, between the two of them, there is no shortage of secrets either. They need to work through things individually in order to come out stronger in the end and it wasn’t going to be an easy road, yet they had the support of each other.

Teagan’s struggles and her past traumas play a huge part in this story, but they are a huge part of who she is. The way this was handled was done with care and in a way that is authentic.

If you’re looking for a small town romance this is one to read.
