Breaking Down Walls: A Backroads & Belonging Story
Bex McKinnon has always been the steady one—the fixer, the bartender, the loyal friend who holds everyone else together. Running The Gable, Durgintown’s beloved local bar, keeps her hands full and her heart safely walled off. She’s fine with that. After losing her parents and watching her closest friends find love, Bex has learned how to take care of everyone but herself.
Lena Harrington is just as steady, just as stubborn, and just as skilled—especially with a hammer in her hand. Born and raised in Durgintown, she’s built a quiet life out of sawdust, solitude, and straight talk. When Bex hires her to help renovate The Gable, the two women find themselves working side by side, day after day, chipping away at walls—both literal and emotional.
What begins as a slow-building friendship sparks into something deeper, something neither woman expected. But letting someone in is no small task for Bex, and Lena isn’t one to push. As the renovation dust settles, both must decide if they’re ready to risk comfort for connection.
Breaking Down Walls is a story of strength, vulnerability, and the kind of love that’s built, not rushed—one careful layer at a time.

Sweet series
Book three was just as good as one and two. Finally Bed and Lena have their love story. I really enjoyed this series. The characters are likable and well developed. Thanks for a sweet romance series. I love happy endings.
