Dash's Curvy Bride

I bought my father's best friend at a charity auction.

Then I asked him to marry me.

Twenty-four days. That's all I have left to find a husband, or my family's ranch goes to a cousin who'd sell it to the worst men in Montana.

Reid Larkin is forty-five, steady as the mountains, and twenty years too old for me. He held me the day my daddy died. He's spent eight years keeping a careful distance.

He says yes. On paper only. Separate rooms. A quiet divorce in a year.

I agree to every rule.

I don't mean a single word.

Because the man who gentles wild horses with nothing but patience is about to share my roof, my name and, if a winter storm has its way, my bed.

But he's carrying a guilt that could break us both.

Can I make him turn around and see me before Christmas costs me everything?

Steamy slow burn. Curvy rancher heroine. Protective older biker. Age gap. Best friend's daughter. Marriage of convenience. Forced proximity. Christmas on the ranch. Guaranteed HEA.
