In The Hay — Keri Ford

Book 3 of 6 of The Apple Trail Novella Series

It's been a White Picket Fence life for Nicolette. Charming but tedious. She graduated high school, raring to go. Nothing is ever as easy as it seems, though. The fear of being stuck in a rut, living a dull day-to-day life, keeps Nicolette from settling on a career despite her six years of college. When the chance arrives for her to house sit, she takes opportunity by the horns for some playtime. She would finally experience life and find something to make her happy.

Drew knows exactly what he wants. To run the family construction business. Too bad his dad doesn't think he's ready. They make a deal: Drew will help his cousin put up a new fence and after he's learned hard work, the construction business is his. Drew's not sure why learning to string a fence together will see him suitable for a career of paper pushing, but he'll do it.

When Drew meets the wanna-be-free-spirited Nicolette in the small town of Apple Trail, Arkansas, his determined thoughts of what he's always worked for begins to sway. Nicolette's finding the fun in life during their temporary relationship. After she gets a taste of what living is supposed to be, how will either of them walk away?
