One Night

I love this little town, and I looooove grumpy Duke.
He's a caregiver and always will be. He finds a problem and solves it, and is always there to help whether or not he's been asked. He cares deeply for his family and just shows up.

Duke and Sylvie have a secret friendship, as rival families. Both pine for the other, but enjoy their secret texting friendship.

Duke has a bad day and just needs to be with Sylvie. They have a secret beach date, and the steam cranks up to 11. Boom pregnant.

Watching Duke fall more in love with Sylvie as she grows with their baby, is so sweet. He says that he is a coward and doesn't share feelings but he does. Maybe not with words but with his actions. Eventually he tells her that he loves her and it makes me swoon. He's a softie romantic who loves his three legged dog I and an adopted duck.

The families are rivals but he finds a way to bridge the gap to call a mild truce for the sake of them and the baby. The pranks don't stop but they stay harmless without malice.

I wish we had more of their early budding relationship. And I wish we knew more about his cowboy era???
