I never thought that I’d return to the small town I ran away from or that my new boss would be the grumpy single dad I had a one-night stand with.

 

Aaron Fernandez is my complete opposite. Dark-haired. Controlled. Broody. I know I shouldn’t push his buttons, but I can’t resist taunting the stoic cowboy.

 

Bluebonnet Creek always brought out the recklessness in me, and coming back after six years is no different. Only now that my mother has given me an ultimatum, I’m stuck here.

 

The Fernandezes need somebody to help around the ranch. I need a distraction.

 

Besides, nobody has to know about our little slip-up.

 

Except, one slip-up turns into two, and the more we’re around each other, the more undeniable the sizzling attraction between us is.

 

So, we come to an agreement—a secret relationship with an expiration date.

 

But what will happen when feelings neither of us saw coming make it impossible to walk away when the time comes?
