No One But You

He walked into town as if he had nothing to lose.
I walked into his life and changed everything.

Kai Lawson is quiet, kind, and carries a past he never talks about. A drifter with no family and no reason to believe in forever—until Orlinda Valley gives him something worth staying for.

Me.

I’m a small-town teacher rooted in community, home, and love that lasts. Kai doesn’t belong here…but somehow he fits into my life perfectly. Helpful, gentle and falling hard long before either of us admits it.

What starts as slow-burn tension turns into something real. Something safe. Until the past Kai’s been running from finds him and threatens to spill the secret he keeps safely and tightly tucked away.

Now I have to get him to believe that love is worth the risk…and show a man who’s never had a real family that home isn’t a place—it’s a choice.

No One But You is a steamy small-town romance with a sweet, broken hero who falls first, found family, emotional slow burn, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
