Men of Boonville Book 1: Adam
Blossoms in Boonville
In the picturesque town of Boonville, New York, life takes unexpected turns with the arrival of Paneer Technologies. The town, once quietly nestled near the Tug Hill region, is now bustling with fresh faces and new opportunities. Among these newcomers is Adam McCleary, a seasoned project manager with a past he’s trying to forget. After a devastating breakup, Adam relocates from Kentucky, hoping to bury his heartache in work and the serenity of Boonville. Little does he know, love has other plans.
Becca Watson, a fiercely independent woman, co-owns the town’s beloved flower shop with her mother. Becca has built a life on her terms, embracing her single status and pouring her heart into her floral creations. She’s content, self-sufficient, and not in the market for romance. But when Adam challenges her heart at a friend’s wedding, sparks fly in ways neither of them could have anticipated.
Their connection is immediate yet complicated. Adam, cautious and guarded, struggles to open up, still nursing wounds from his past. Becca, on the other hand, finds herself drawn to his vulnerability and quiet strength. As they navigate their budding relationship, they uncover layers of themselves they had long kept hidden. Their love blossoms amidst the vibrant backdrop of Boonville’s community events, late-night conversations, and shared dreams.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing. Adam’s past threatens to catch up with him, and Becca’s fierce independence clashes with her growing feelings for him. Together, they must confront their fears and insecurities, learning that love, while unexpected, can be the strongest force of all.
Men of Boonville Book 2: Mack
The Heart of Boonville
When Mack Carrigan accepts a lucrative position at Paneer Technologies’ new rural facility, he sees it as nothing more than a stepping stone in his career. The ambitious Dallas native plans to put in his time at the tech company’s outpost in sleepy Boonville, pad his resume, and return to the bright lights and fast pace of city life as quickly as possible.
Boonville was supposed to be a footnote in Mack’s life story—until he meets Sarah Maddon, the town’s passionate librarian and local historian. With her warm smile and encyclopedic knowledge of Boonville’s past, Sarah is as deeply rooted in the small town as the historic oak tree on the town square. Where Mack sees a quaint backwater in need of modernization, Sarah sees a close-knit community with rich traditions worth preserving.
As Paneer Technologies’ expansion stirs both hope and anxiety among Boonville residents, Mack and Sarah find themselves with differing views on what makes a happy life, city lights or the slower country pace.
Set against the backdrop of a town at a crossroads between tradition and progress, “The Heart of Boonville” explores whether two people from different worlds can find common ground—and whether home is a place on a map or wherever your heart truly belongs.
