Maren Lowe has six weeks to save a dying school, and the one contractor who can do the work can't stand the sight of her.

She left Portland for a fresh start as principal of Stillwater Elementary, and walked straight into an eviction notice for the whole town: prove the school is worth keeping, or watch the board shut it down and bus the kids forty-five minutes through Idaho winters. To save it, she needs Boone Hale. Boone thinks she's another polished outsider who'll bolt the second something better comes along.

He's a man who learned the hard way what it costs to need someone. Widowed, raising his six-year-old daughter alone, he's spent years keeping his head down and his heart locked. The last thing he wants is a reason to hope a stranger will stay.

But his daughter adores her. The town is rooting for her. And the more Boone works alongside Maren, the harder it gets to remember why he decided she was the enemy.

Falling means risking the one kind of loss he swore he'd never survive again. For Maren, it means staying — something she's never once done.

Don't Let Me Fall is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers small-town romance with a guarded single-dad hero, an outsider who finally finds home, a town worth fighting for, and a happily ever after. A complete standalone.
