Fern: The Montgomery Sisters, book 1

By Kat Flannery

Can one woman heal the heart of a lawman? 

A gardener who uses plants to heal, Fern Montgomery is an outcast who refuses to be pushed out of town. When her friend is murdered and all fingers point to Fern as the only suspect, she must find a way to prove her innocence while fighting off unwanted feelings for the sheriff. 

Sheriff Gabe Bennett has his mind set on arresting Sarah Fuller's killer. But his key suspect isn't what he expected. He soon realizes there is more to the quiet gardener than he'd first anticipated. As passion blooms, Gabe is forced to face his feelings—and the woman who has stolen his heart.
