Steal My Heart (Rosewood River, 1)

“Making a move on my coworker was not really my style. But when it came to Easton Chadwick, I was willing to break a few rules…Ralph Lauren underwear model meets rugged rancher, kind of hot,” Easton Chadwick is “the greatest legal mind on the planet…His passion didn’t just come from the accolades of winning. It came from his love for the law and the way he cared for his clients.” “The way to win cases was to know what you were getting into. What you were dealing with. You lost a case when you were caught off guard.” He did the work, and he prepared for every single angle that could come his way…until Henley Holloway steps into the office, sets off the alarm, and spills coffee down his shirt. She’s a rock star lawyer, superstar tennis player, pickleball goddess, and world’s greatest best friend. She’s regal and strong with a work ethic that can hold its own against anyone at the firm, including Easton...She’s also his mentee, colleague, boss’s daughter, and they both have trust issues. Henley has a fear of abandonment. Of not being enough for someone to stick around. Easton is terrified of loving someone and losing them, “but never loving someone for fear of losing them is also horrific…Giving your heart to someone is a risk. Loving someone is a risk.” “There’s no way to move forward without dealing with the past…sometimes there was no way to avoid a storm. Sometimes you just had to open the door and go through it…the past was just part of the journey. It was what led you to where you were now. And you didn’t have to run from it or hide from it; you just had to keep moving forward…Together.” For Easton, “Forever started the day she’d walked into that office.” Henley found her forever “in this tall, broody, cocky, overbearing, protective, brilliant, beautiful” lawyer. “I knew everything was going to be just fine. Because we loved each other. And that was definitely what mattered most.” “Fiery. Passionate. Explosive.” Laura Pavlov’s Steal My Heart deserves a constellation!
