Longer Than (Sweet Country Hearts #1)

Desiree Summer hates being the new girl in the small, close-knit town of Wishful Hollow, especially when she’s assigned to take on the town’s most eligible bachelor who’s turned speed dating into an art. She has a life ahead of her full of horses and places to go, but she also wants to please her recently widowed father.

All bets are off when she meets Kyle Landon, the dreamy writer who collects the eerie and foreboding folktales in the hills and hollows. She follows him into the deep, dark woods, enchanted by his tales and haunted by old ruins whispering of lost love never found.

When the speed-dating king chooses Desiree as his lady love to the great delight and advancement of Desiree’s father, Desiree has a decision to make: take the sure bet to town prominence or throw her cards in the air for a storyteller with murder between his lines and mysteries in his heart.
