Against the Grain

I’ve spent my whole life as an outsider, a man bound by rules and social norms I don’t understand. But there’s one truth I definitely grasp: Eila Storm is the one for me. She’s wild and unpredictable and that usually sends me into a tailspin, yet I’m drawn to her like rain to a drainpipe. Eila gets me in a way nobody ever has, but she’s also chaos incarnate—determined to start an urban farm on an abandoned lot … without permits. The problem? Once I know she never filed the paperwork, I can’t look away. I don’t know how to turn off my rigid need to follow the rules, even if that means shutting down her business. She says I’m choking her like a weed. So how can I let things go to earn her trust? She supercharges my central nervous system when I’m usually allergic to surprise. I crave her fiery passion more than the comfort of standard operating procedures. I just need a little help to rewrite my own code so I can wrap Eila in understanding…and my arms. A buttoned-up inspector falls for his polar opposite in Against the Grain, book one of the Planted and Plowed series of romantic comedies starring the Storm sisters. Love takes roots in the cracks of life’s pavement and stems get spliced in these steamy books full of small-town swoon in a big city setting.
