Against the Grain

Maria Sandoval is determined to breathe new life into Cloverton with her Downtown Revival Fair. But gruff, reclusive woodworker Graham Wilder thinks it's a waste of time—and he definitely doesn't want anything to do with the stubborn, too-charming woman behind it all.

When Maria ropes Graham into helping, their clashing visions ignite more than just frustration. Amid sawdust, sweet moments, and simmering tension, Maria glimpses the wounded heart beneath Graham's grumpy exterior—and he starts to believe in something bigger than solitude.

But with the town's future on the line and emotional scars threatening to derail their growing connection, can they build something real together… or will the past keep them apart?
