Southwest of Homer

Synopsis

From Book 1:

His mother was right, he should've kept them buttoned. Can he get Lynn take a second look?

Clean, sweet romance
There's a new girl in Homer, Lynn. Rurik feels the pull the moment he spots her. His reputation is against him and he knows it. The other girls in town have nicknamed him the Russian Raider. She'll hear it and probably a bunch of other stuff. In a small town, people talk.
Lynn's mother took off when she was still an infant. Her mother's dead and her father dies before she meets him. She's inherited part of a sporting good's store, Homer Bait and Switch. Can she make a life in a place her mother hated?
There is one item of interest. The big, blond commercial fisherman she locates in the viewfinder of her camera on the deck of a vessel leaving the harbor. When she discovers his nickname, Lynn isn't sure she wants to know him better.
He's not a bad guy, but he did something that has his mother and sister upset. He took off with the money to pay for the ship's upgrades. He didn't plan on running off with the funds. Rurik took one look at the check and couldn't stifle the urge to see something of the outside world. Now he's got two strikes against him as the local itch scratcher and someone who you can't trust with money. Home again, Rurik must fix things which won't be easy.
