Falling In Signed Paperback

Shannon Murphy doesn’t do romance. She does sarcasm, whiskey pours and walls so high no man could climb them. Behind the bar she’s untouchable – confident and in control – she’s perfectly fine with everyone believing she’s just the fiery redhead with a sharp tongue but deep down she’s still looking for someone that makes her feel at home.

Then came the drunken Halloween hookup when she got a taste of that feeling. One night. One mistake. One man she’s sworn she’ll never get close to again.

Blake Erickson thrives in the kitchen. A caretaker at heart, he loves cooking for his friends and family and offering up advice that would put Dear Abby to shame. Opening a restaurant with his twin brother is his dream come true. But they’re missing one thing – a bar manager. And the only person perfect for the job is the same woman who’s been avoiding him like he’s the plague.

When Blake offers her the position, Shannon tells herself it’s for the money – a dream job but a nightmare boss – she can do this. But the crisp fall days, hours spent in close quarters, and the warmth of their constant banter starts to melt the ice cube around her heart.

By Halloween, a year after their drunken mistake, they give in to temptation, swearing it’s only physical. But as more time passes and the grand opening approaches they realize the truth.

They’ve been falling in love this whole time.

They thought they were building a bar.

Turns out they were building so much more.

Falling In is a dislike to lovers, boss/employee, small-town romance full of friendship, spice and a guaranteed HEA. Falling In is the second in a series of interconnected standalones set in the fictional town of Oakridge, Arizona all about putting your Heart First.
