At First Dance

She wasn’t looking for a way out. He wasn’t looking for anyone at all. Especially not his brother’s ex. But sometimes, love finds you right where you land.

After years of living under the weight of her stage name, Ivy Quinn needs a break—from the spotlight, the noise, and the expectations of everyone but herself. A broken-down car on a backroad in Coral Bell Cove, Virginia, wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was the gruff, steady-handed cowboy who shows up when her world feels like it’s falling apart—the same cowboy who happens to be her ex’s older brother.

Rowan Wright is perfectly content with his quiet life on the farm. He’s built a routine that works—sunrise chores, family dinners, and keeping his distance from anything that might stir up the past. But when Ivy shows up in town with more baggage than luggage and no idea how to slow down, she disrupts everything… and somehow, it feels like exactly what he needs.

But Ivy’s world isn’t built for small towns and open fields. And Rowan’s not sure his heart can take the spotlight—or the whispers about falling for the woman his brother once claimed.

When the fame threatens to catch up to her again, Ivy has to decide if she’s ready to stop running… and Rowan has to believe he’s worth being chosen.

A heart-tugging, slow-burn romance about love that grows where you least expect it—and a place that just might feel like home.
