I have everything under control. Until my contractor kisses me…
Control protects the heart.
And after escaping a toxic marriage, protecting mine is non-negotiable.
That’s why I’ve spent the last few years building a fortress around it.
But then there’s Henry Aron.
The single dad—and infuriatingly attractive contractor—renovating my century-old farmhouse. He’s equal parts confidence and cocky charm, pushing all my buttons while looking at me like I’m something worth wanting.
I could hire someone else.
Someone who doesn’t blur the lines between irritation and desire.
But Henry is the best.
And with the walls shielding it, my heart is safe around him… until it isn’t.
Until teasing turns to tenderness.
Until I meet his daughters and start to fall.
The chemistry between us is impossible to resist.
That one kiss isn’t enough—and suddenly we’re crossing every line as friends with benefits.
Casual becomes complicated.
And the fortress around my heart begins to crumble.
Henry’s all in—ready to build a future.
But I’ve been broken before, and there’s more than just my heart to consider this time.
So I have to decide: stay safe and let him go… or let them be my forever.
When We Were More is the first book in the Aron Falls small-town romance series. If you love smart, strong heroines with heart and sexy, swoon worthy heroes, this series is for you!
