Bar Fight

Molly Henderson drove up to Paradise Valley for forty-eight hours to sell her uncle's cabin and drive back to her bar in Livingston by Saturday night.

Instead she found Sawyer Wrangel on the roof, replacing shingles like he belonged there. Which, inconveniently, he does. Cal rented him the cabin six months ago. Sawyer has a lease through February, a truck under the cottonwoods, and no intention of moving because the woman with the U-Haul and the temper says she has plans.

Molly owns The Bad Penny, a Livingston bar held together by regulars, stubbornness, and whatever she can still fix with her own two hands. Sawyer is a former fire-jumper who walked out of last year's season and landed in Paradise Valley because quiet looked better than smoke. She picks a fight instead of asking a question. He says he is fine about the one thing he is not fine about. By the time the first frost hits and the cabin's single bed starts making decisions for them, neither of them is operating on the plan they brought.

Bar Fight is Paradise Valley book three: autumn weather, one-bed tension, bar-owner competence, and four explicit scenes for readers of Kristen Ashley, Maisey Yates, and Lauren Landish.
