Leaf You Hanging (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991078696)

Jack Ellis is getting along just fine. Well, fine enough, at least. He works at his bar. He takes care of his grandmother. But no one really knows how thoroughly he's hidden himself away.

That's the price you pay when everyone remembers you as a troublemaking teenage delinquent. It doesn't matter that he's now over thirty and a successful business owner. Small towns and small minds never seem to change.

Bonnie Jensen is the consummate good girl. She dedicates her time to her family, friends, and community. She loves her job and her students. Her loyalty knows no bounds. That's why, on the day her divorce is final, she'd do anything to wipe the slate clean and prove to herself that she isn't doomed to love her ex-husband for the rest of her miserable life.

When Bonnie's presence in Jack's bar threatens the delicate equilibrium he's worked so hard to protect, Jack finds himself in an interesting predicament. One night of brutal honesty connects them, igniting an unexpected friendship neither of them could have predicted.

Jack starts to wonder what he could possibly offer the woman who takes care of everyone around her. Turns out a friends-with-benefits arrangement is just what the good girl had in mind.

But as time goes on, it quickly becomes clear that there's more to the old saying opposites attract. Bonnie couldn't have known that Jack would guard her heart as fiercely as he does his own. Nor could she have anticipated the softness he keeps tucked away.

Sometimes taking a walk on the wild side leads to unforeseen consequences, like losing your heart to the motorcycle-riding former bad boy you never saw coming.

Book #4 in the Kirby Falls small-town contemporary series follows the spicy romance between a people-pleasing school teacher and the tattooed bartender with a troublemaking past. 'Leaf You Hanging' is a full-length novel filled with humor, heat, and a swoony happily ever after.
