The Versions We Were

Marley Brooker is comfortable putting her life online. Letting someone into it is a different story.

Helping businesses find their spark is what she does best, so taking on The Mossy Pint should be just another job. The only problem? Its grumpy, tattooed owner is convinced social media is a waste of time, and Marley might be the last person he wants turning his quiet country pub upside down.

Ezra Ashford came to Wattlewood Ridge for a fresh start. Between The Mossy Pint, his golden retriever Butter, and the life he's carefully rebuilt, he's determined to leave the past where it belongs.

When his persistent ex refuses to accept that their relationship is over, one carefully staged photo and one impulsive claim that Marley is his girlfriend seems like the perfect way to convince her to move on. It should have worked.

Keeping up appearances should be easy. Ignoring the chemistry between them is another story entirely. But some people refuse to let go of the past. And just as Marley begins to believe she's found somewhere and someone to call home, the life Ezra thought he'd left behind threatens everything they're beginning to build.

Now they'll have to decide whether to keep holding onto the people they used to be... or take a chance on the versions they were always meant to become.

A heartfelt small-town romance featuring fake dating, found family, a charming country pub, a wishing tree, one very good golden retriever, and a sprinkle of magic.
