Crawling back home with my tail between my legs was not the way I saw my life going.
I had it all.
A fantastic job. A fiancée who adored me, and a life any man would dream of.
That’s about the time it all fell apart.
But Montana has a way of healing all wounds, from the beautiful sunrises to the fresh mountain air.
Sure, my father still hated me for leaving. My mother still defended him at every turn.
And the gossip…
It was enough to drive me insane.
And then I sat next to her at The Beaver and Boot.
Gorgeous, curvy, full of life, and so easy to talk to.
She was perfect.
Until I realized she was the same girl I tormented as a kid.
Yep, I was that boy who didn’t know how to tell a girl he liked her, so he picked on her. And boy, did she let me know how much she hated me.
Every Tuesday and Thursday night.
But the one thing she couldn’t ignore was the undeniable chemistry when my body was pressed against hers.It was only supposed to be a friends with benefits situation, but she wormed her way into my head, and made it impossible to ignore my own Foolish Pride.







“Fine. I’ll admit that he has pleasant features.”

They both burst out laughing at that.

“Okay, more than pleasant. Have you seen him?”

Delaney shook her head, waiting on tenterhooks for something more descriptive than “pleasant”.

“He’s…taller.”

“Taller,” she repeated. “That’s all you’ve got for me?”

I stuttered over my thoughts in frustration. I didn’t want to think about him or hot he was. It would only ruin my plan to stay as far away from him as possible. But she wasn’t having it.

“Fine, he’s…muscular. Like, really, really muscular.”

“Declan muscular?”

“Not that much. But it’s one of those things that you can see through his shirt.”

Delaney sighed dreamily. “I love it when you can see their shirts stretched across their biceps.”

“Not to brag, but I have one of those,” Josie grinned.

Delaney smacked her arm. “Hey, some of us can only dream for now.” Then she turned back to me. “Go on.”

“Um…well, he still has warm, chocolate eyes. And his hair is shorter than it used to be.”

“Can you still run your fingers through it?”

As soon as I thought about it, shivers raced down my spine. That was not good. “Yes.”

“Oh my God,” Josie whispered. “Did you hear that hitch in her voice?”

“I definitely did. Tell us more.”

“There was no hitch.”

“There was definitely a hitch. Which means it’s really good. Now spill!”









I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

There’s nothing quite like going home.
Breathing in that fresh Montana air with the woman I love at my side is something only the luckiest of men ever get to experience.
And I’m one of them.
After surviving a deadly virus, false imprisonment, watching the woman I love nearly die, and a dishonorable discharge, things are finally looking up.
I got the one thing I wanted—to return to Murky Falls Ranch and take over with my brothers.
But things are never what they appear. The ranch is no longer a ranch. I pulled my brother out of a fire set by a man who hates our family, and there are several new additions to the family I was not expecting.
I thought the worst was over, but now I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever know how forever feels.
 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 
My stomach churned as we approached Parker’s family ranch, and it wasn’t just because I suspected I was pregnant.“Do you see that third peak to the right?” Parker pointed out the windshield. “That’s where the edge of my family’s ranch is. Murky Falls is over there. That’s where our ranch name came from.”

I nodded, trying to take it all in while also fighting the urge to leap out of the SUV and run back home. What was I thinking, agreeing to move here when I hadn’t even met anyone in his family first?

Mountains painted the midnight landscape as far as the eye could see. It should have been beautiful and welcoming, but an odd sense of impending doom told me this wouldn’t be the wonderful welcome he thought it would be.

“Blake,” Parker said, shooting me a curious glance. “Are you okay?”

“Of course,” I grinned, attempting to keep the fear and urge to puke from showing on my face.

“Then why do you look like I just told you we’re getting married?”

The smirk on his face eased the tension in my body just a little. “Well, we did come out here with the intent of starting over.”

“Just not getting married right away. Trust me, I haven’t called your family for a shotgun wedding.”

My head snapped so fast toward the passenger window at his words that I nearly pulled a muscle in my neck. If only he knew how close we were to using that phrase.

“Here we are,” he announced, stopping at the open gates of the ranch.

An emblem of Murky Falls Ranch greeted us on either side of the entrance, sealing my fate. There was no turning back now.

“It’s been years since I was home,” he murmured. “It’ll be good to see everyone.”

In order to do that, we’d have to actually drive forward, but I wasn’t exactly yelling at him to get moving. The delay was the only thing holding me together at the moment.

But just as I thought that, he pulled through the gates toward my doom.

 
 
 
 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Review – Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart by Giulia Lagomarsino “Some of her best writing…Holy cow, this book! I was immediately immersed in Murky Falls! I could not put this book down. Im excited to read the rest of the series!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Review from C. Luna – “Real Good Man by Giulia Lagomarsino is the kind of small-town romance that sneaks past your defenses with humor, heart, and a slow-burn love you didn’t see coming—but end up rooting for with your whole chest.”

New Release ~ Real Good Man ~ by ~ Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: Real Good Man
Series: The Last Best Place for Love Book #2
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre/Tropes: Small Town; Enemies-to-Lovers; Opposites Attract; Dark Secrets; Grumpy/Sunshine; Next-Door Neighbors and Emotionally Unavailable
Release Date: January 26, 2026


In a small town where secrets last five minutes, privacy is a myth, and gossip lasts forever, this might have been the worst possible place to settle.


After my last job fell apart and burned my reputation, I followed Archer to this small town in Nowhere, Montana.


I had no intention of staying longer than the night, but circumstances took a turn for the worse when not only was there not an immediate solution to my job problem, but the only places to stay were the local roach motel or a bed and breakfast with flowery bedspreads and potpourri in every room.


But then I happened to help out a Parker, which apparently meant something in this town.


Not only did I land myself a house rental for as long as I needed, but I ended up with a neighbor who insisted on feeding a stray dog on my property, convinced he was mine.


And as much as I fought it, I found myself sort of liking the damn dog.

Not that I would ever admit that.

But the dog wasn’t the only unexpected addition to my daily life.


It seemed the more I tried to ignore my neighbor—her perky personality, the weird tea concoctions, and her ability to make me want her even when she annoyed me—the more I found myself intertwined in her life.


And that might just get her killed.
