Showing up on *lizzie's shelf April 30th, 2026 ~ Anything For Love

This tale is part of the Aspen Gold Series, a multi-author collaboration featuring the tourist town of Spencer, Colorado.

​

**She came home to make peace with her past—never expecting to rediscover her heart.

 

Isabeau Smith returns to Spencer determined to confront the man who assaulted her years ago. Instead, she learns he’s vanished. Before she fully processes that twist of fate, he’s found dead. The man’s final cruel move—he’s left a number of his properties to her.

​

Hawke Ingham has secretly loved Isabeau since high school. Now the town’s animal control officer, he vows to protect her yet never asks for more than she can give. He doesn’t push. Doesn’t demand. He simply shows up.

​

Long evenings turn into quiet conversation. Shared laughter softens the tightness in her chest. His hand brushing hers feels less like comfort and more like a promise. When he finally pull her close, it isn’t urgency sparking between them. It’s recognition.

​

Hawke doesn’t just make her feel safe. He makes her feel wanted. Passion deepens into something undeniable and Isabeau realizes healing isn’t about revenge or closure. It’s about choosing joy. Choosing love.

​

And maybe, choosing the man who’s been waiting for her all along.
