Surprised By You
Jessamy has always been the walking disaster, the baby sister, the one everyone teases, rescues, and underestimates.
Benton has always been the dependable one-the fixer, the protector, the man people call when something breaks.
When Jessamy's life starts coming apart in dead batteries, empty gas tanks, ruined dinners, mice, and one very inconvenient attraction, Benton keeps showing up. At first, he tells himself it is obligation. Then habit. Then friendship.
But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore what is building between them: sharp banter, quiet tenderness, dangerous almost-kisses, and the kind of wanting neither of them knows how to trust.
Jessamy is desperate to prove she can stand on her own. Benton is terrified of being wanted for the wrong reasons. And when desire finally crosses the line, old wounds turn intimacy into a battlefield.
To find their way to each other, Jessamy will have to believe that accepting love does not make her helpless. Benton will have to risk being fully seen. And both of them will have to learn that the right person does not rescue you from your life-they help you become brave enough to claim it.
A steamy, emotional small-town romance about being underestimated, being chosen, and discovering that love can surprise you when you least feel ready for it.
Content Warnings: explicit sexual content, emotional conflict, family tension, sexual shame/insecurity, accidental intimate touching, pregnancy possibility, and strong language.
