Matthew

One wrong delivery. One ruthless enemy. One explosive connection they can't fight. She's built her life from the ground up. He's trained to face down danger. Neither expected a deadly threat to dig in right at their feet. Callie Morgan has spent years pouring her heart into Cedar Hollow Nursery, determined to honor her family's legacy and keep her roots firmly planted in Harland County. Hard work, stubborn grit, and the occasional dry sense of humor are all she needs—until a wrong delivery drops something far more dangerous than garden supplies at her door. Reporting the suspicious shipment should have been simple. Instead, the evidence vanishes before the sheriff can see it, and Callie's quiet life turns into a nightmare of threats, sabotage, and strangers lurking where they don't belong. Former Navy SEAL Matthew Walker thought small-town life would be easy after years of chaos overseas. He didn't expect to find himself rescuing a fierce, sun-kissed nursery owner with stubbornness to match his own—or falling headfirst into a criminal mess that hits far too close to home. Protecting Callie wasn't in his plan. Neither was falling for her. But in Harland County, roots run deep... and some dangers refuse to stay buried. He'll fight for her future. She'll fight to keep her heart. Together, they'll face a threat that wants to destroy them both.
