Shared heartbeats: A Small Town Grumpy-Grumpy Romance
A small town, grumpy-grumpy, found family suspense romance in a tiny mountain town called Rainbell Falls.
I was the best hacker in the country.
I’d exposed dozens of organizations that abused women and children. I dug into their affairs, collect their information, and sent it anonymously to the police, always from the shadows and safety of my home.
Until Mist's men showed up to kill me.
After barely making it out alive, I was forced to accept the offer of one of the few people I got along with and hide out in his hometown until the situation was resolved.
He didn’t tell me his older brother lived next door, that he was the local police chief, and that he didn’t know I was there.
Nor did he mention that he was a real jerk.
Luckily, I wasn't far behind either.
Perfect for readers who enjoy cozy romances, charming characters, and an addictive narrative. Join Rainbell Falls and fall in love with a fiercely independent, badass woman on the run from a criminal organization and a grumpy, protective man who won't give up until he learns her secret.
This book is a standalone, although it is part of the Rainbell Falls series.
Join the readers who have already found refuge in Rainbell Falls. Trust the intuition that brought you here and start reading!

I really had a good time this one!
Vera did an amazing job with the story. She actually wrote this series in Spanish and is now translating it to English.
It was a good time. We have a small town, we have romance, we have suspense, we have two grumps, we have a cop and a hacker, we have a motley crew of siblings and sidekicks, we have a good time!
The story hits the ground running! We have drama in the prologue and we don’t get a chance to breathe for a good chapter or two!
Thanks Vera for allowing me the chance to read this! Can’t wait for the next one!! 🩷

Rainbell Falls: Rhen and Mia
She’s a hacker on the run, and when her compatriot offers her a safe place to stay… she comes across his brother and sparks fly… not in a good way.
A humorous meet-(not-so)-cute, enemies-at-dawn-style vibe, a mystery, a protective MMC, a highly independent loner MFC, and all the found-family vibes you can pack in.
The tension is there, the chemistry is electric, and while it starts as enemies, it certainly (slowly) evolves to more. I really enjoyed this dynamic, and the hints about their brother… I’m intrigued…
My first Vera Beryl… and certainly not my last.
