Years ago, Sadie Courant had been the frizzy-haired twerp next door. Now she’s drop-dead gorgeous and has, well…uh…grown up. Like, a lot. It’s no wonder Broadway director Ethan Sawyer doesn’t recognize his best friend’s little sister when he sees her again.
Sadie has been in love with Ethan since she was in braces. So when he fails to recognize her at the bachelor auction she’s organized, she flips. Sure, she looks a little different now, what with the attitude and a little help from a flat iron, but really?
Deciding she needs to get the man out of her system, Sadie negotiates a way for Ethan to make up for his mistake: a one-night stand. She figures after they do the deed, he’ll head back to New York and she’ll finally be able to let go.
But when Ethan must move back to the small town of Meadowview to work side-by-side with Sadie, she realizes she couldn’t be more wrong about the “letting go” part of her plan.

Hometown romance with heart.
Rochelle French grew up on a farm in the rural northern California foothills out in the middle of nowhere in a one-room shed with no TV, no phone, and no hot water (and no bathroom, but that’s a story for another time). She spent her free time immersed in fiction, finding friends in characters who came alive on the pages.
After realizing she, too, could create an imaginary world with which readers could connect, she started writing and never looked back. She hopes to inspire and uplift her readers as they follow the characters she’s created—people who find their own strength along the path to true love, always supported by friends, family, and community.

Now that her twins are adults, Rochelle spends her time writing contemporary romance novels (AKA, kissing books). When she’s not in front of her computer, she’s out hiking in the woods, swimming in the river, or hanging out in her own quirky town. She can still milk a goat, grow food, and wield an ax and a hammer with great effect, and her friends have voted her “Person most desirable to have as a bestie during an apocalypse.”
