Should've Said No: A Thistle Bend Novel (Thistle Bend #1)
by Tracy MarchWelcome to Thistle Bend! Perfect for fans of Susan Mallery, this charming series debut introduces a small town where old secrets are revealed--and wounded hearts are opened to new love. A year after being laid off from the Smithsonian, Lindsey Simms says yes to a job offer as curator of a heritage museum in Thistle Bend, Colorado (population 1,519). It could be worse--and it is. Because the new museum has escalated a dispute between the Karlssons, Lindsey's relatives, and the Crenshaws, a blood feud which goes way back to a land deal that changed the fortunes of both families. Trying to stay objective, Lindsey can't tell anyone about her conflict of interest--especially not the ruggedly handsome handyman fixing up her cabin, who seems to be keeping secrets of his own. Although he's the executive director of the family trust and one of Colorado's most eligible bachelors, Carden Crenshaw prefers getting his hands dirty in town and on his sprawling ranch. Staying busy has given him an excuse not to risk heartbreak, but getting to know the beautiful "museum lady" makes him reconsider. Little does he know, the heat between them will only add fuel to the fire--unless this unlikely couple can prove they're lovers, not fighters.
