A roommates to lovers romance book ðð»
Struggling, city-girl artist Ophelia Hawthorne uprooted her life and moved to Repose, Tennessee on a whim with only crushed dreams, a suitcase, and a car full of paintings in tow. Prone to getting swept up in plot twists, she rents a cabin and soon finds herself under the too-watchful eye of the town's hunky, grumpy farmhand, Dash Sullivan.
Dash isnât the sweetheart, debonair country boy one would expect. Heâs moody, rugged, and hellbent on keeping his heart closed and business private. He knows Repose like the back of his hand, along with every resident. Newbies make him suspicious and uncomfortable, but something about Ophelia gives him a feeling heâs never felt beforeâbutterflies. And he doesn't like that.
A charming, gentle-hearted damsel in distress who's too good at cracking his hardened emotions is the last thing Dash wants in his life. But when a new threat blows in, triggering turmoil throughout the town and putting Ophelia in jeopardy, "hero" becomes a role he's more than willing to play.
