A small town is a hard place to have a secret affair, and our remote mountain village feels the smallest.
Everybody here knows everything about everyone else — at least they think they do.
If I was like them, I’d probably think Daryl Winters is too old and perverted for me to have a relationship with. But I see the kind, caring, and lonely man behind the smoldering gazes and defensive humor, and I can’t help falling in love.
He may be the only person in town who acknowledges the light inside me, and I wish he wouldn’t keep...

A small town is a hard place to have a secret affair, and our remote mountain village feels the smallest.
Everybody here knows everything about everyone else — at least they think they do.
If I was like them, I’d probably think Daryl Winters is too old and perverted for me to have a relationship with. But I see the kind, caring, and lonely man behind the smoldering gazes and defensive humor, and I can’t help falling in love.
He may be the only person in town who acknowledges the light inside me, and I wish he wouldn’t keep his distance.
Trouble is, thanks to my overbearing father and the many watchful eyes he’s got me living under, Daryl’s as convinced as the rest of the town that I’m an off-limits sweetheart who must remain depressingly chaste for all eternity.
But I’ll show him.
I’ll show everyone.
I’m tired of living small so others can feel big, and I’m done being Daddy’s good girl.
It’s time to rise up, claim my desires, and become the woman I’m meant to be.
