Leaf Well Enough Alone

Ian Wells is every woman's fantasy. He's played action stars, superheroes, and even a dashing nobleman. But when the hottest actor in Hollywood travels to the mountains of Western North Carolina to film, no past role could prepare him for a woman who isn't dazzled by his main character energy. 

Joan Judd likes her life the way it is. She keeps busy as the head farmer at her family's orchard, and takes pride in her fierce independence. But when a disruptive film crew shows up in town, her meticulous routine gets thrown out the window the moment she finds a celebrity passed out on her lawn. 

With every exasperating run-in with Mr. Big Shot, Joan learns more than she ever expected. Like the realization that Ian is raising his young nephew, and the A-list celebrity might not be as spoiled and incapable as she once assumed. While Ian is annoyingly charming and unbearably attractive, he's also kind to her family and committed to helping the town. And most troubling of all, he seems bound and determined to win her over. 

The very idea of a relationship with the megastar is preposterous. The fact that he's twenty-nine to her thirty-six is another big pill to swallow. Not to mention that he's leaving in a few months and taking his adorable nephew with him. 

If they both know their meet-cute isn't meant to be, then why can't they keep their hands-and their hearts-to themselves? 

Book #5 in the Kirby Falls small-town contemporary series follows the steamy slow-burn romance between Hollywood's top leading man and the grouchy farmer who doesn't have time for spoiled celebrities. 'Leaf Well Enough Alone' is a full-length novel filled with humor, heat, and a heartwarming happily ever after.
