A small-town story about reinvention, forgiveness, unexpected connection, and the courage to choose a different kind of life.
When Jordy Gallo arrives in Lahoma Springs, she's focused on one thing: designing a luxury boutique and getting back to New York where everything makes sense and feelings stay neatly contained. But this quiet farm town has its own opinions-all of them loud-and Jordy quickly becomes the face of an unwelcome corporate takeover. The harder the town pushes back, the more her carefully curated life begins to unravel.
Then there's Ashton Elliot: a single father, a devoted farmer, and the one man in Lahoma Springs who doesn't treat her like an outsider-until he finds out who she works for. Their brief spark sputters into cold distance, but fate has a way of trapping them in the same orbit. Especially when Jordy ends up unexpectedly staying at his farmhouse, forced to confront a life slower, deeper, and far more honest than anything she's known.
Ashton has spent years rebuilding himself after heartbreak. Between raising his daughter and keeping the farm afloat, he has no room for a woman who complicates everything he's worked to protect. But Jordy is impossible to ignore-sharp, messy, vulnerable beneath the sharp edges-and she makes him question whether he's been surviving instead of living.
In the quiet spaces of early mornings, shared meals, and hard conversations, Jordy and Ashton begin to uncover the truths they've been avoiding about themselves. And as Lahoma Springs becomes more than a temporary stop, Jordy must decide whether the future she's been chasing is really the one she wants-or if the life she needs is here, with the people who see her for who she truly is.
The Jilted Lovers Club is a heartfelt, slow-burn novel about finding your place, mending what feels unfixable, and letting love in where you least expect it.
