Rose Bend, Massachusetts – Present Day

Leontyne “Leo” Dennison has no plans to get involved with a man, especially after she had a one-night stand in Boston a year ago that didn’t amount to anything past their night together. But to her surprise, her one-night stand man, professional football player Owen Stafford, shows up in Rose Bend. He’s now disfigured on one side of his face after an accident and hiding away from others. Owen also—apparently—doesn’t remember Leo from their night together. She tries to draw him out, but he rebuffs her. Yet, there is something that draws the two of them together.

Owen lied to Leo. He does remember her, but he wants to keep any close contact away because he feels like half a man with his facial disfiguration. However, she is persistent because she needs his participation as a judge in a festival the town is holding in a few weeks. Leo’s persistence pays off as the attraction between Owen and her begins to spark again. Will they end up in bed once more? He has been pondering his future in the NFL. Will his feelings for Leo play a role in the decision?

Leo has a frenemy relationship with another female in Rose Bend, which proves to be a turning point for her in WITH LOVE FROM ROSE BEND. She has given up on love and concentrated on the family business, an inn that still needs a lot of work and customers. Bringing people to town for the upcoming festival is essential for the inn and Leo has thrown herself into doing whatever it takes to help. However, she didn’t expect to get roped into participating in a beauty contest. But Owen encourages her and even brings in a friend of his to help her practice the right moves for walking the stage. Meanwhile, the attraction between Leo and Owen blooms into a repeat of their one-night stand—and an admission from him that he does remember her.

WITH LOVE FROM ROSE BEND is a sweet, yet sensual romance that has a small-town romance feel. In Rose Bend, just about everyone knows each other. Owen has kept to himself, but he is soon a part of the town and is welcomed with open arms. Few care about the scars on his face. Will he make the town a permanent residence, or return to New York City where he trains for football? Will Leo and Owen fall in love—and provide a happily-ever-after for each other? Don’t miss the fun, the sexy hot scenes, and the scintillating storytelling. Don’t miss WITH LOVE FROM ROSE BEND.
