Seasons in a Small Town

Meet Josh Kincannon, high school principal, single father of three, and thus, as he reminds himself ruefully, essentially celibate back into misty memory and forward into the foreseeable future.

After three months of trying to work with Vanessa Irish via phone and e-mails, Josh believes he has an accurate picture of Zeke-Tech’s CFO:

Conscientious? Oh, yeah.

Intelligent? Absolutely.

Agreeable? Not so much.

Even his upbeat approach is challenged by their grumpy-sunshine opposites. But there’s no way to avoid a heavy dose of forced proximity if he wants the best for Drago.

Then he catches sight of her wild, vibrant robe and begins to wonder … Every time Vanessa goes into her I’m-so-boring-I-disappear-against-white-walls act, he remembers that vibrant, wild fabric hanging on the corner of a door and he gets curious. And the more curious he becomes, the more he discovers about her that has him feeling things a whole lot hotter than curiosity. Things that threaten that celibacy claim, scrape against his high school principal job, and shake up life with his three kids.

Numbers, that’s where Vanessa is comfortable. Not all this interaction with people that she’s been pitched into. Especially interacting with Josh Kincannon. Why does he insist on drawing her into his town, his life, his family? And the biggest question — what kind of man is this, who not only looks at her, but SEES her, when that’s the last thing she wants?

Falling for Her, Book 3 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn’s “Seasons in a Small Town” series, is a moving, passionate contemporary romance.
