LaraI've lost my creative edge somehow, and it's been a struggle to get it back. To help myself reconnect with my artistic side, I make a spur of the moment trip out to the country to see my best friend. My hope was that getting out of the city would be the change of scenery I needed, but instead, I'm hopelessly lost. Thank goodness a kind stranger happened to drive down the road and come to my rescue. Knox is big and a little rough around the edges, but his touch is gentle and soothing. It's possible I like him too much. I think I'm catching feelings for this handsome loner, and they feel far too good to be true. Is it possible he feels the same way?KnoxI've spent the past few years making a new life for myself out in the countryside. After my father died, someone needed to look after his property and his workshop. Turns out that I was well suited to take over for him - I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. That is, until I come across Lara. This little slip of a girl has turned my life upside down. I'd resolved myself to a life of solitude, just me and my cat and my blacksmithing. I didn't think I needed anything or anyone else. Turns out that what I needed was Lara, and I'm hard pressed to let her go now that she's in my world. Will I be able to convince her to give me a chance?
