Chaos Theory

She's determined to win the competition. He's determined not to fall for her. Melody Clutterbuck has a plan for the summer: conquer Haskell's annual wilderness challenge and finally convince the town's most frustratingly handsome engineer that life is meant to be enjoyed. As co-owner of the local flower shop, Melody is known for her sunny smile, free spirit, and ability to find beauty in the unexpected. But beneath her easygoing exterior lies a fiercely competitive streak. When the town's orienteering competition begins, she's ready to prove she can outsmart, outlast, and outnavigate anyone—including Will Darling. Winning his heart might be an even bigger challenge. Will likes order. Schedules. Plans. Predictability. Melody is none of those things. The brilliant engineer has spent years building a life that's organized, controlled, and completely free of distractions. Then Melody crashes into his carefully constructed world with her infectious laugh, endless optimism, and irresistible charm. Suddenly, the one problem he can't solve is the woman he can't stop thinking about. When fate pairs them together for the competition and strands them deep in Wyoming's rugged wilderness, avoiding each other becomes impossible. With every mile they travel, the attraction between them grows hotter. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry simmering beneath their rivalry. But while Melody is ready to embrace the unexpected, Will isn't sure he can risk the chaos that comes with opening his heart. Can a free-spirited florist teach a buttoned-up engineer that some of life's best moments can't be planned? Or will their chance at love get lost in the wilderness? Filled with sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, forced proximity, outdoor adventure, and a swoony opposites-attract romance, Chaos Theory is a heartwarming small-town western romance about taking chances, breaking the rules, and finding love where you least expect it.
