Coldbank Cowboys

He's eight years too young for me, but I can't seem to stay away. Parker was the last thing I expected when I packed my bags and moved to small-town Texas after learning my then-ex cheated two months before our wedding. All I knew is that I wanted to be far away. With my savings and a broken heart, I purchased a fixer-upper and took the next plane to a place where only one person knew my name. It was supposed to be my perfect opportunity to start over and scrub the male species from my mind. And it would have worked had Parker not smiled at me from the other end of the bar with eyes so blue they'd make a nun swoon. I should have stayed away because the last thing my heart needs is another failed relationship. But before I knew it, that smile turned into drinks, and eventually, his mouth on mine. Our fling was supposed to start and end that night, so imagine my surprise when he showed up at my door, determined to fix my house and broken heart. What's the problem? I gave up on love the moment my ex stepped all over mine, and Parker's about to learn that some things aren't fixed so easily. Contains mature themes.

Accidents happen, especially for me. Too much salt in my famous chili, a small slice on my finger while chopping vegetables, and even getting buried in debt because the business I spent years building didn't go to plan. But accidentally getting engaged to the cowboy who hired me for a last-minute catering gig? Yeah . . . I never saw that coming. Desperate to dig myself out of the hole I created, I accept Denton's offer. It was supposed to be easy-simple. Make a three-course meal for his parents' retirement party and get a large sum of money. Only, I never thought the night would end in him kissing me to avoid his mother's poor matchmaking. Now, I'm his fake finance, and I'm not sure I want the ruse to end. Contains mature themes.
