A Lesson in Love: Coyote Creek Book 1 - Coyote Creek Katie O'Connor

Love lessons learned in this heartwarming romance.

Fired from her job and accused of a crime she has not committed, Tricia Paxton retreats to Coyote Creek to recover from trauma and rebuild her career. Though she shields herself from the past, her secrets challenge new relationships, and her new position as an elementary school teacher further complicate personal boundaries when an eye-catching stranger requires lessons of his own.

Carefree bachelor, Riley Flint, has problems, too. While focusing on building a veterinary practice, his plans grind to a halt when a daughter he has never known enters his life. Accepting the troublesome news that the mother has passed away and her maternal grandparents cannot offer their care, he assumes the responsibility of raising his daughter. But he has little experience with children and the girl needs more instruction than a man can give, so Riley approaches the new teacher for help.

Who knew a daughter to Riley and a student to Tricia would spark joy and conflict in a couple's life? Daisy might complicate their romance, but Riley's family urges him to embrace his new life as a father and welcome both Daisy and Tricia into his heart. Can love find common ground and unite a family or will Tricia's past tear them apart?
