Favoring the Farmer

He’s a weary farmer.

She’s a city designer with a rebellious teen in tow.

Summer Creek might just be the fresh start they need.

Farmer Dane Becker feels like life has left him behind. With his father gone and the woman he loved like a grandmother now laid to rest, Dane is exhausted, lonely, and convinced his best days are buried in the middle of his wheat field. Then one evening, he spots lights in the house next door. His investigation ends with a mop-wielding beauty mistaking him for a burglar—while unexpectedly stealing his heart.

Bellamy Larken is used to designing one-of-a-kind apparel for Hollywood’s elite, not wielding cleaning supplies against handsome strangers. But when her younger sister Elise’s rebellion spirals out of control, Bellamy—as her guardian—knows something has to change. Inheriting her late aunt’s home in Summer Creek, Oregon, feels like the perfect fresh start. Hastily packing without warning her sister, she drags Elise from the city to small-town life, hoping the quiet community will give them both a chance to heal.

But the house is stuck in a disco-era time warp, Bellamy feels overwhelmed, and the rugged farmer next door is equal parts frustrating and irresistible. Dane insists he doesn’t need anyone, yet Bellamy’s determined heart might be exactly what he can’t live without.

Filled with small-town charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and a tender romance that blossoms under beautiful Oregon skies, Favoring the Farmer is a sweet and hopeful love story about finding where you truly belong.

Praise for Favoring the Farmer

“I loved this sweet story! I could definitely relate to Bellamy, trying hard to take care of her sister, Elise, who is a typical snarky teen while also trying to keep a roof over their heads, pay bills and still tuck away a few dollars. Dane was an amazing character that is solid, dependable, even at times a grouch but still sweet and kind, especially after their disastrous first meeting. It was fun seeing old familiar characters from previous books. I loved how their romance progressed from neighbors, friends and then love.”

Goodreads Reviewer

“Dane and Bellamy make a great couple; they both needed a break in life and someone to love them completely. They face their share of difficult times, but I like that they didn’t really fight against their feelings for each other. They let it grow, got some sound advice from good people, and went for it.”

Goodreads Reviewer

“This was truly a book I couldn’t put down. I loved everything, the small town feel, the characters and the story itself, I felt like I was there in Summer Creek watching it unfold.”

Excerpt

He moved slowly down the hallway and edged around the kitchen doorway.

Two females, both young, stood with their backs to him. One was over by the sink and the other one appeared to be mopping the floor. They’d probably had a raging party and were cleaning up the evidence.

Then again, if they’d had a party, wouldn’t it just be getting started?

Confused, his brain was too tired to rationalize the reason the two girls were there. Instead, he charged into the room and bellowed, “Hey!”

In the time it took him to blink, the one with the mop swung around and hit him right in the midsection while the girl by the window screamed as she spun to face him, a bottle of glass cleaner held like a weapon as she squirted him square in the face.

His eyes felt like they were on fire, and his nostrils burned as though someone had shoved a lit match up his nose. He would have gasped in pain if the mop-wielder hadn’t knocked the wind right out of him.

He’s a weary farmer.

She’s a city designer with a rebellious teen in tow.

Summer Creek might just be the fresh start they need.
