Thirteen Candles : Small Town, Single Dad, Age Gap Romance (Starlight Canyon Book 1)

Samantha Rider arrives in the small town of Starlight Canyon on a temporary teaching contract, bringing ideas for change that a local single dad isn't prepared to handle. He's skeptical of her authority—she's ten years younger, from the city, and only staying short-term. Over three months, he must contend with her influence on his daughter's education and her push for him to reconsider his ways. As they spend time together, their dynamic shifts. He finds himself wanting to convince her to stay, rather than simply resist her presence. Thirteen Candles is the first book in the Starlight Canyon series, which features small-town cowboys and hockey players. The series contains high heat and emotional content. Reader discretion advised for 18+. The book includes a trigger warning for fertility issues.
