One Kind Night

Everyone knew if you shared your birthday wish, it wouldn't come true. And Jackson wanted this one to come true.

What's better than digging in the dirt and putting together the pieces of history? For archaeologist Jackson Henley, absolutely nothing. Unfortunately, lost funding forces him to head to his hometown in Vermont. It'll be great to see all his brothers who still live in town, but Jackson's stay is definitely temporary. He's got valuable treasures to unearth in far more interesting spots than a small town deep in the woods.

An injured dog, however, leads Jackson to an unexpected reunion with his high school sweetheart. Isabel Perri is not supposed to be in town. She shouldn't be running Pine River Cottages where he's staying either. She definitely shouldn't look even hotter than she did as the teenager who had broken up with him when he'd entered college ahead of schedule.

Isabel also swears she'll be out of Maplehaven before it gets its hooks back into her. She's got dreams of opening her own resort in a busy tourist area. Getting replanted in her hometown won't make those dreams come true. Neither will giving in to the magnetic pull she feels every time Jackson is around. Will this second chance alter their escape plans?

Is one kind night enough to uncover a love buried in the past?

One Kind Night is a second-chance, small-town, contemporary romance that features a business-minded heroine and an archaeologist hero who both return to their hometown.
