The Realist: A Contemporary Love Story

Better alone than in bad company.

That's Clarissa Sullivan's new philosophy. No more toxic relationships. No more dead-end jobs. No more depending on anyone for anything. The rustic mountain cabin in the middle of nowhere is the perfect place to start over and simplify.

Getting friendly with her capable and attractive survivalist neighbor is not part of the plan.

Marine Travis Maxwell is totally on board with that. He sought out the seclusion of the mountains to get away from betraying fianc?es and back-stabbing best friends. The last thing he needs - or wants - is to get close to anyone ever again.

Yet there's something fascinating about his fiercely independent and decidedly unfriendly new neighbor, and keeping his distance isn't going to be easy.

A relationship is definitely out of the question. But in the unforgiving wilderness, it just makes sense to have each other's back, right?

The Realist is a charming, romantic dramedy that'll have you leave you smiling.
