I vowed never to return to my hometown and the people who live there. Now, unemployed and needing a place to live, I move back with my mom, promising myself that it’s only temporary.
When small-town charmer, Miles, thinks his charisma will work on me, he’s got another thing coming. I want nothing to do with him and what he represents in this town. He’s everything I ran from when I left and never looked back.
Miles is persistent in his pursuit, no matter how many times I turn him down. What could a guy like him want with a girl like me? We come from two different worlds—one where mine serves his.
But I need a job, and his family’s winery is the only place hiring. Working alongside him, I see a different side of him that I thought was nonexistent.
Hatred turns to curiosity, and soon I’m wondering if there’s more to the man I thought I knew growing up.
Not So Charming is a feel-good romance. If you like hate-to-lovers, witty banter, and swoon, then you’ll love this small town romance.
Miles would give his Junebug the world…

Junebug,
You are my entire world. I strive to prove my love each and every day, but today is special. I know you don’t normally support such a commercial holiday, but you’re stuck with a romantic for a boyfriend. Your own prince. How’d I get so lucky? I still thank the stars that you gave into my persistent personality and decided to go on that one date. It changed both of our lives.
All those stories I’ve written for you about a prince and princess are specks of what I feel for you. My heart beats in time with yours. My world is better because of you. We’ve lived through a lot in a short time, but I promise to always come home to you safe and sound and full of love. Instead of flowers, I’ll bring you bookmark bouquets. I love that your books fill our house and your laughter echoes in the halls.
We’ve got the rest of eternity to dance on sidewalks and read books and love each other. My forever Junebug.
I love you,
Miles
