Jill Shalvis Falling into You

Some love stories don’t stay buried, no matter how far you run. Hazel Pierce has three goals for coming back to Star Falls: Help her estranged dad. Keep things strictly temporary. Absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for Tucker Colburn again. That plan dies a dramatic, soggy death when a rogue wasp sting sends Hazel swerving off the road and into the river—only to be hauled out, half-drowned and furious, by the Star Falls Fire Department’s finest. Unfortunately, “finest” is ex–best friend, ex–one-night mistake, and the man she’s been avoiding for a decade. Tucker’s always had a way of getting into her head. And now between a family that thrives on gossip and a town that’s way too small for all this chemistry, Hazel’s running out of ways to avoid the truth. As sparks turn into late-night confessions and slow, toe-curling kisses, Hazel has to decide if she’s done running—from her past, from this town, and from the only man who’s ever made her feel like home. And Tucker has to prove that this time, he’s not just her safe place to crash—he’s her always. FALLING INTO YOU is a swoony, small-town, second-chance romance full of the Colburn family chaos, forced-proximity hijinks...and a grumpy hero who never stopped loving her.
