Private Hearts (River Town #1)
Grant C. Holland

With both men feeling vulnerable, they celebrate Dak’s last evening on shore before returning to his deckhand job on a Mississippi River towboat. It’s their traditional celebration…until the night goes awry. An unexpected kiss causes them to see each other in a different way, and they are forced to re-evaluate their steps forward into the future.
Private Hearts is a friends-to-lovers romance. It is the first book in the River Town series, but it can be read as a standalone novel. It contains no cliffhangers, but it does have steamy scenes.
