SHE CAME TO PINE RIDGE TO SELL.
HE DECIDED SHE WAS STAYING.
Claire Davidson is twenty-eight, eighty-five thousand dollars in debt, and ten days from homeless when a Colorado lawyer calls about a great-aunt she barely knew. A historic log cabin on fifteen acres. A lifeline — if she can figure out what to do with it.
What she doesn't expect is the man already on the roof.
Ryan Sullivan is six feet of grumpy, skilled, and completely certain about two things: this cabin is worth saving, and so is the woman standing in the wildflower meadow below him. He's been half in love with the photograph on Millie's mantel for nine years. The real thing is worse. Better. He doesn't have a word for it yet.
She says she's selling.
He keeps showing up anyway.
Forced onto the same job site, in the same small town, with a predatory developer circling and a community counting on her to hold the line — Claire and Ryan have three weeks to fight for a cabin, a business, and a love neither of them planned on.
Three weeks is all it takes.
RYAN is a spicy, fast-burn instalove romance featuring:
