After the Leaves Fell - Ella Justice

nFor Oakley Tennen, change is harder than fishing with a broken pole.n nn nWith a job that drains her, a family held together by scars, and a reputation for being unfeeling at the best of times, Oakley's only comfort is in the peace of Tennessee's steadfast trees. But when her long-lost brother finally comes home with the same diagnosis that ruined their family once before, he brings chaos - and his closest friend, a cocky, annoyingly handsome hockey player - into her well-controlled life.n nn nAt first, Jason Westerman seems like Oakley's opposite in every way. He's happy, she's cold.

He's outgoing, she's guarded. He's defensive, she's right. The only thing connecting them is their shared loyalty to her brother.

Yet, when they're pushed together time and again, Oakley realizes there might be more between them than their differences. They might even be alike. But when Jason becomes her anchor as they navigate family issues, friendships, fears, and dark circumstances that threaten to take away what she loves most, will Oakley find a way to embrace everything life brings to her - even after the leaves fall?n
