Hard No: A Small Town Romance

Knox Mars is everything Caroline Black hates in a man: too tall, too confident, too impossible to get rid of. So whenever he walks into her bakery, she throws donuts at his head. He always catches them. Always smiles. Always comes back.

She's never understood why...until the day she actually needs him.

Knox has known Caroline's secret for four and a half years and never breathed a word. Now that secret has found her, and he's the only one who knows how dangerous it is. So he does the only thing that makes sense: he plants himself in her bakery and refuses to leave.

Caroline hates having him there. She hates his broad shoulders and his quiet competence and the way he calls her "sunshine" like he's daring her to throw something.

She hates even more that she's starting to feel safe.

Knox isn't there out of obligation. He's there because walking away from Caroline Black has never once been an option for him. She just didn't know it yet.

He's been keeping her secrets for almost five years.

Now he wants to keep her.
