Strike the Match: A Small Town, Hidden Identity Romance - Paperback

by Madison Myers (Author)

She's running from her past. He might be the first person who doesn't run from what she's hiding.

Amelia Marsh lives on the road, with her van and true crime podcasts as companions-until she's stranded outside of Smoky Heights. The charm of the small town calls to her, or maybe that's just the thrum of electricity from the golden-haired country boy who finds her on the side of the road, Weston Grady. With a lethal grin and sharp, dark humor that rivals her own, he quickly proves there's more to their chemistry than just a sizzling physical attraction.

The longer she stays, the more Weston crumbles her resolve to keep moving. Smoky Heights offers a fresh start she never dreamed could be possible, but letting people in has always been a one-way ticket to exile. Keeping her past buried is the only option. Amelia's secrets aren't just baggage, they're a ticking clock.

As much as she wants to stay and explore the possibilities with Weston, her past is creeping up on her, threatening to expose her haunting history. With shadows like hers, can she find happiness and a new beginning in a town that harbors no secrets? For the first time ever, his heart is on the line, but their future could go up in flames.

For fans of small town romance and unforgettable heat, Strike the Match is a must-read. A heartwarming story of love, breaking free from the past, and embracing fresh starts, Strike the Match is a standalone with a happily ever after and can be read on its own, or as book two in the Smoky Heights series, following Rekindling the Flame. It is the springtime book of the series, and it has enough spice to start a food truck.
