Fern’s Date with Destiny

Novella 2: Heart Falls Vignette Collection

About the Book

They can’t outrun destiny.

 A stand-alone story by New York Times bestselling Author Vivian Arend.

When Fern Fields heads out on a trail ride with Cody Gabrielle—the quiet ranch foreman at Red Boot ranch—she has no idea how well they’ll click. Cody’s steady charm and quick wit are enticing, and Fern wonders if destiny might have a slightly dusty cowboy in mind for her sometime down the road.

By the time their friendship bursts into a full-blown relationship, everyone’s so used to seeing them together they’re practically hiding in plain sight. The secret is part of the fun—a little mystery tucked into their everyday routine. But just as Cody begins to picture a future with the woman who makes everything brighter, life throws him a curve he never expected.

Suddenly, it’s not just about falling in love—it’s about whether love is strong enough to weather the unknown and still stand steady on the other side.

This might be my favorite book she’s written. Make sure you have a tissue (or three) with you, and just enjoy good writing, laughter, and a genuine HEA.

The last of the Field’s sisters gets her HEA, and it was an emotional (secret) journey to get there!
