Learning to Stay

Pine Creek Falls: Book 1

Gia Miller doesn't do commitment...

But a certain cowboy might have the power to change everything.

Note: If you read LTS prior to August 13th, 2026, did you happen to notice I had to change the name of the school resource officer who helps Holt and Gia find the girls. Originally, her name was Reina, and I changed it to Reya. Send me an email if you caught that!

Synopsis

What do you do if a handsome cowboy ends up rescuing you from the side of a snow-covered road?

If he were anyone else, I’d thank my lucky stars, but this particular cowboy happens to be the same one I had a one-night stand with… and subsequently snuck out on without saying goodbye.

Holt Basil has brains, brawn, and two precocious little girls who are hell-bent on finding a woman for their daddy to fall in love with.

And I’m not the kind of woman men fall for. I’m the one they sleep with a few times before they’re ready to settle down with Mrs. Right. Trust me, it’s better that way.

Holt hasn’t gotten the memo though. He seems to like me for some reason, and what’s crazier is I’m starting to fall for him too.

But Pine Creek Falls isn’t my home. I never intended to stay here forever, and long-term commitments aren’t my specialty.

Saying goodbye is my only choice. Isn’t it?
