Perfect for you if...

  • You love grumpy-sunshine dynamics where the quiet, stoic love interest melts through genuine connection rather than grand gestures.
  • You enjoy small-town settings with real stakes—mysteries woven through romance rather than tacked on as afterthought.
  • You appreciate military romance that respects the character's background without making it their entire personality.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced thrillers where the mystery drives the plot more than character development and relationships.
  • You want steamy, explicit scenes rather than mildly spicy moments.
  • You're looking for standalone romance without series potential or small-town community subplots.

About this book

Michelle LeBlanc, principal of a French Immersion school, is navigating a difficult new school year. Her school faces operational challenges, her ex-boyfriend is now the landlord, and there are concerns about the Hebert children. Beau Babineaux, a retired Marine, takes a job helping her manage these issues. As they work together, Michelle finds herself drawn to him despite her intention to focus on her goals. Beau retired from the Marines seeking a quiet life with his friends. He lives alone in a large house built for a family he never had. When Michelle hires him, he falls into his natural role as protector—of her, the school, and the Hebert children. As Beau and Michelle grow closer, threats emerge targeting Michelle, her school, and the children. The two must work together to address these dangers and uncover what is happening in Meauxville. This small-town romance set in Cajun Country features a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, workplace romance, military themes, banter, and a guaranteed happy ending with no infidelity. It is the first book in a series and can be read as a standalone.
