She is only to be in Idaho for three months. Her task is simple: run the lakeside resort in her aunt's absence and return to her life in Los Angeles. Easy. Or maybe not. Ruggedly handsome Luke Hamill--Brook Trout Resort's grounds manager--instantly piques her interest. A former Marine and divorced father of two, Luke introduces Julia to small town living and a passionate love like she's never known. The mountain man is the total package: tender, strong, sexy, and honorable. He could be everything Julia wants... except for his problematic and meddling ex-wife. Julia is smart, sensible, and irresistible, and she immediately captures Luke's heart with her playful tenderness and saucy independence. Now he can't imagine his life without her. As Julia's departure nears, Luke's mission is clear: show her their love can conquer anything life throws their way. Can Julia embrace her feelings for Luke, and will they be enough to keep her in Faithful Falls? Or will the challenges of a blended family make her abandon it all and head back to Southern California? Stay With Me, Julia​ is the first book in the Faithful Falls series, where those destined to be together prove love is stronger than the obstacles threatening to tear them apart.
