Love Drops
Shay Paris has two rules: protect the farm... and never fall for a man who won't stay.
In a town that believes in fate, Shay is barely holding it together-juggling three jobs, a struggling family farm, and a dream of building something lasting from the land she loves. When she and her friends sign up for Pink Match, she dares to hope for more: a partner, a soulmate, someone who will put down roots beside her.
Her anonymous match feels perfect. Easy. Real. He makes her laugh, listens to her stories about vegan recipes and feral cats, and for the first time in years, Shay lets herself imagine a future that isn't just survival.
There's just one problem-he travels.
Austen Reed is done with life on the road. After his band breaks up, the quiet, introspective bassist is ready for something real... and he's sure he's found it in his Pink Match girl. But when she makes it clear she won't fall for a man who won't stay, Austen makes a bold move-he buys land in Pinkerton Falls, determined to prove he's exactly what she's been waiting for.
Too bad his new property comes with one stubborn, infuriating neighbor.
Shay is convinced Austen is just another wealthy outsider trying to turn her beloved farmland into luxury homes. Austen can't understand why the fiery farmer next door gets under his skin-or why he can't stop wanting her. And neither of them realizes they've already fallen for each other online.
When a dangerous plot threatens Shay's farm-and her life-Austen and Shay are forced to work together. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and the undeniable heat between them turns impossible to ignore.
And somewhere between a collapsing system, a farm on the edge, and a love that refuses to behave like coincidence... Shay has to decide what matters more: the life she's fighting to save or the man who keeps choosing her anyway.
Because maybe the algorithm was right.
And maybe love isn't destiny at all.
Maybe it's a risk.
