Nash Carter. Retired ice hockey player and part time cowboy. Also my brother's best friend and therefore strictly off limits.

Despite the fact he can't stop staring at me like I'm his favourite snack. And I . . . like it?

After finally escaping the toxic relationship that consumed most of my adult life, I thought I'd sworn off men.

Then Nash hired me to work for him. And somehow we ended up spending the night together.

It was only supposed to happen once. But now that I've had a taste, there's no way I'm walking away.

All I have to do to give us a shot? Take a deep breathe and let go of the reins. . .

Tropes:

• Cowboy Romance
• Small Town Romance
• Brother's Best Friend
• He Falls First

• Protective MMC _
