Avery
After ending a toxic relationship, I'm ready for a fresh start.
When an opportunity to be a kindergarten teacher in Caribou Creek arises, I don't think twice.
I pack my bags and go.
After that turbulent relationship, I'm determined to stay single and focus on myself.
But my resolve is tested when I meet my incredibly attractive landlord, Wes Ashburn.
For months, I keep my distance from the sexy brew master.
But when a leak springs under my kitchen sink that I can't fix, I'm forced to call him.
Just my luck that my ex chooses that moment to find me.
Wes doesn't miss a beat.
He comes to my rescue and pretends to be my boyfriend.
It's not supposed to mean anything.
I'm not supposed to like it so much.
So why I am falling so hard for my pretend boyfriend?
Wes
I've been drawn to my beautiful, curvy tenant since the day I handed her the keys.
But dating has been off the table ever since I moved back to Caribou Creek.
I have more than enough reason not to trust women.
Or my own judgment when it comes to dating.
My life is quiet, simple, and uncomplicated.
I like it that way.
But when Avery's ex shows up and tries to cause trouble, I'm not about to leave her high and dry.
I pretend to be her boyfriend.
I offer her a place to stay to keep her safe.
It's supposed to be temporary.
I'm not supposed to fall for her.
But the more fate keeps pushing us together, the more I realize I don't want to pretend anything.
Welcome to Caribou Creek, Alaska. Secluded small town living in the heart of the mountains is not for the faint of heart. But to those who call it home, they can't imagine being anywhere else. Love runs a little deeper in these parts. It must be something in the water, because the men who've sworn to live solitary lives are unable to resist the women who upend their best laid plans and capture their hearts.
This is a sweet & steamy instalove romance with a mountain man and curvy woman. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating. Guaranteed HEA.
