Jobless, heartbroken and in desperate need of a change, Niki takes a chance on a stranger. For Niki Winston, losing her job in a legal firm was like losing her whole world. Set adrift in Portland, Oregon, she takes a chance on a lifeline from a friend, and leaves the city behind for the small town of Riverton, and a job with someone she's never met. Alex Thompson needs a manager for his inn, and a way to leave it, and rural life, behind for good. Niki should have been the perfect choice - if they can ever agree on anything. Even as she settles into her new position, the chemistry between Niki and Alex is hard to deny. It's a complication she doesn't need, and another tie to Riverton he doesn't want. With Niki's past lurking in the shadows and events seemingly driving them apart, can they even find a way to make it work? In this small town romance, the first of the Riverton Romances, Niki deals with rumors and betrayals as she tries to rebuild her confidence and avoid another affair with her new boss.
