Mary Chase Rodgers comes to Lattimore Mountain, North Carolina, to house-sit for her aunt. She craves solitude to heal after leaving behind the city, a relationship gone toxic, and a series of life changes that took her away from herself. Separating from those things is a major step forward. Now, she just wants to be alone, to sort through where she goes from here.
Last thing she wants is to be involved with a man who might be as controlling in his own big-hearted way as the one she escaped.
Whit Kendall has inherited the running of the general store and the tending to The Mountain. He takes care of everybody and everything. So, of course he's going to look out for the niece of a friend, especially one with that bruised look to her misty blue eyes.
Doesn't mean there needs to be more. What woman in her right might would want to take on not only him, but a mountain and its people.
But the crackle and draw of attraction quickly has them off-balance. And the people of Lattimore Mountain are not above giving them a shove here and there, hoping they fall together.

What is The Sheila Mackey Collection?
Sheila Mackey is the main character and lead sleuth in Patricia McLinn's cozy mystery series Secret Sleuth. Under another name, Sheila once was known as the author of a megabestseller book/cultural phenomenon . . . which was actually written by her great aunt. Now, her great aunt has retired from those books and booted Sheila out of the next (for her own good.)
In Book 1 -- Death on the Diversion -- Sheila searches for a new path. And inadvertently finds it after finding a fellow cruise passenger murdered in a deck chair.
Starting with Book 2 -- Death on Torrid Avenue -- Sheila is in small-town Kentucky, building a new life, including a rescue collie dog named Gracie, a new best friend named Clara, and an ex police detective name Teague O'Donnell, who's clearly interested in Sheila . . . or in her secrets?
As she builds her new life, Sheila recognizes an urge to write novels. But what kind? Her experiments in genres and styles are brought together for your reading pleasure here in The Sheila Mackey Collection.
(Okay, okay, a fictional character can't write novels on her own. Though if there were a way to pull that off . . . But nope, these were written by Patricia McLinn with Sheila Mackey as a fictional / always in the back of the head collaborator. Some stemmed from manuscripts that didn't fit the rest of Patricia's catalog or from one-off forays into projects with other authors that also didn't fit the brand. All were extensively rewritten and none are AI.)
