Starting over in Sunset Ridgeâthe epitome of small town Alaskan charmâis just what I need after a sour breakup. I mean, where else can I get a bowl of the best caribou chili while hearing stories about Ed the matchmaking moose? Itâs the perfect inspiration for my next novel.
The only problem? The local shelter is about to be shut down, and they desperately need my charity fundraising skills. Which is how I end up working side by side with the grumpiest man Iâve ever met: local veterinarian, Dr. Marc Evans. It wouldnât be so bad if I didnât have a teeny, tiny little crush on him.
Not that it matters. The sexy, bearded, flannel-wearing defender of abandoned animals canât stand me anyway. And itâs not like Iâm ever going to admit that heâs the inspiration for the grumpy hero in my next romance novel.
So what if he has the ability to make me dizzy with his rare, heart-stopping smiles, and enough almost kisses to make a reader want to throw her book across the room?
Iâm done with love.
At least, I thought I wasâŠ
