The quiet ones are the most dangerous to fall for…
Cleo
I run trivia nights at my family’s struggling small-town bar, which means I don’t have time for distractions. Especially not the tall, broody construction worker who looks at me like I’m another puzzle to solve.
Trent Steel barely talks, avoids crowds, and somehow knows the answer to every random trivia question I throw at him. The man’s impossible to read, impossible to rattle, and unfortunately impossible to stop thinking about.
Trent
I don’t do crowds, small talk, or trivia nights. I definitely don’t flirt with women like Cleo Werner. She’s a restless, stubborn social butterfly who works too hard, determined to hide the stress behind a smile.
But one night at Kindred Spirits, I’m dragged onto a trivia team I never wanted to join. The next thing I know, I’m helping with repairs just to hear her laugh and thinking about her way more than a loner like me ought to.
Which would be a whole lot easier to deal with if I planned on staying in town.
Poke the Bear is a small-town romantic comedy featuring a reluctant grump, a hardworking heroine, blue-collar charm, instant chemistry, playful banter, and a hero who falls hard and fast when he finally lets someone in.
Genre: Romance
