My life is content. Living and working in my small hometown of Pine Village is right where I want to be, especially with family and a few close friends nearby.
It’s taken me some time to dig my way out of the negative spotlight I found myself under a few years back, thanks to an old photo from college that resurfaced. That’s why I have rules: no social media, no drinking alcohol in public, and no dating the father of one of my students. Then, Gavin Pierson rescues me from the side of the road.
He’s not making it easy to say no, especially when he flashes that sexy boyish grin of his. The only problem is dating him would be a complication I’m not prepared to deal with, but he’s proving to be relentless.
Gavin
Something calls to me when I’m near my daughter’s shy fifth-grade teacher. I wanted Ava Rutledge when we were teenagers in high school, and now that seems to be the case once again.
However, she’s given herself strict guidelines, and despite the attraction I know she feels, convincing her to take a chance on us could be a challenge. It's a good thing I’m a patient man. The biggest hurdle we face is the fact she’s my daughter’s teacher, and that’s the one rule she’s not willing to budge on.
I’m going to have to show her how much fun it can be when we break it.

We are back in Pine Valley for another sweet sexy treat with Ava and Gavin's story. I love that with these small town books, Ms. Black makes us feel like part of the group as you read, not just looking in the window and watching the show. A sweet romance as these two work to decided that putting themselves out there is worth the risk.
Gavin has been there done that and it was a whirl wind time but in the end he wasn't set for longevity with is ex-wife. He does have the most fantastic little girl who he wouldn't give up for the anything. He is a busy businessman who loves his work but he is ready for more. Ava caught his eye years ago as a teen but the more he sees here around town he wonders if there is a chance.
Ava is happy with life as it is. Loving her teaching job and helping to educate the young people of the town one class at a time. As much as she tries she has her favorites. She is holding herself back when it comes to love and life since the crazy social media thing a while back. Can she let herself step back out into the pool? She has put her rules in place for a reason.
It is fun to watch Gavin push Ava out of her comfort zone a little. Watching this relationship grow, step by step. Will Ava give in and let it happen? Could Gavin be the one worth the risk?
