Bern Quinn’s first thought was to protect what was his when a suspected drug lord outbid his offer for the adjoining property to his dairy farm. No way can he let his gossip-loving granny and aunt know the recently hired hands are undercover DEA agents. Then, without warning, he’s saddled with the grown-up version of the irritating girl from his childhood, sticking her nose into everyone’s business.
A late-night phone call from his Aunt Abby, one of her childhood mentors, brought unemployed Patta Monroe back to the Quinn farm. The old ladies welcome her with open arms, but Bern considers her another responsibility. Life isn’t as she remembered on the farm. While searching for a new teaching position, can she uncover why he’s so edgy and what secrets he’s guarding? It would also help if she could convince him she’s not a kid anymore, but an adult who can take care of herself.
