Seasons in a Small Town Books

What Are Friends For? by Patricia McLinn released on Mar 28, 2006 is available now for purchase.

Everyone thinks life has been easy for pretty, popular Jennifer Truesdale. In reality, it's been anything but—especially since her no-good ex-husband left her in dire financial straits with a child to raise. She'll show them all—including her impressionable daughter—that she can stand on her own. And then, in walks her ex-brother-in-law, Trent Stenner—a former football star whose empire was nonetheless built on brains, not brawn. He's here to replace his brother—in the family business. And just possibly, in the heart of his lovely former wife….

A woman who's built walls around her heart. The man who tears them down. Meet Josh Kincannon, busy high school principal, community go-to-guy, single father of three -- and thus, as he reminds himself ruefully, celibate back into misty memory and forward into who-knows-when. But Josh's latest project is about to change his life. Constructing a computer lab for his town requires easygoing Josh to cooperate with Vanessa Irish, the intense and uber-businesslike CFO of the company sponsoring the lab. Hiding behind dowdy suits and detailed spreadsheets, Vanessa intends to complete the project and retreat to her familiar isolation. But the pleasures of small-town life -- and Josh's attention -- are undeniably appealing to a woman who long ago retreated from people. As Josh chips at the veneer protecting Vanessa's passionate heart, he can't help falling for the hot-blooded woman locked in her solitary shell. That celibacy streak just might be in danger after all . . . Seasons in a Small Town series What Are Friends For?

❤ Can she risk letting him melt her? ❤ Seasons in a Small Town – Winter The past is cold, but it’s familiar for Anne. And the future? Hers might be as gray as a mid-winter Illinois sky. She’s desperately trying to hold on to the family farm owned by her late husband’s great uncle. With Uncle Everett disabled and her new to farming, the make-or-break loans are impossible to get. And time will run out when spring comes. Between the farm and the bookkeeping she does for businesses in town, she’s working to exhaustion. And she’s not good at asking for help. Never has been. Then here comes Quince. As an executive of the high-tech company bringing operations to small-town Drago, Illinois – and driving up land prices and taxes – he represents part of Anne’s problem. But that doesn’t mean she can afford to turn down his rent money when Uncle Everett lines him up as a boarder. And – just what she needs -- the two of them hit it off like an old-fashioned comedy team. Quince is a warm front moving fast through her home, her life, and her heart, promising spring even when all around is frozen. His quick humor and easygoing ways reach deep into the coldest part of Anne’s troubled heart. But she realizes that behind that front, Quince, too, has icy demons. Can Anne save not only this farm she loves, but also herself … and Quince?
