She’s a virgin... The truth is, they should never even cross paths, much less get involved. Nothing good can come of it. Nope, it’s better if they remain strangers, the way the universe intended. But then again... some might say Jack and Claire are supposed to find each other. Some might even claim they have no choice. Destiny, fate, kismet, providence, the stars’ luck, serendipity—whatever you want to call it, that’s what will bring Jack and Claire together. In a deserted diner. In a small town in the middle of nowhere… Colton Farms is a full-length, stand-alone novel (almost 88,000 words). It is intended for readers over the age of eighteen due to steamy sex (and I do mean steamy) and due to graphic language.
