When Fences Fall: Small-town, grumpy sunshine romance by Ariana Cane
"Slow burn at its finest!"

A naked midnight ritual sparks a slow-burn romance between a guarded contractor and a curvy diner owner, unraveling their secrets.

Jericho
I moved to Big Love for solitude and sawdust, not a fiery neighbor catching me off-guard in my backyard. Nora’s chaos—late-night antics, bold laughs—drives me up the wall, yet her spark lights something I swore I’d buried. When her ex threatens her, I’m ready to protect what’s mine, roosters and all.

Nora
Coming back to my hometown wasn’t my first choice. But running my diner and ignoring my problems was working just fine… until Jericho moved in next door.
He’s grumpy, guarded, and way too hot for his own good. Teasing him is fun—until the sparks between us turn into something I can’t ignore. When my past catches up with me, Jericho shows me there’s more to him than scowls and big tool belts.
