She came for the wedding. He came to disappear.
Tasha Montgomery doesn’t do slow, soft, or second chances. She’s got the attitude, the curves, and the career to make most men flinch and she likes it that way. Love? Overrated. Men? Useful at best. Until one weekend in the middle of nowhere shoves a cowboy into her path that doesn’t flinch at all.


Waylon Boone McCrae isn’t just country. He is country. All slow drawl, rough hands, and brooding silence, six foot seven of farm-raised strength and barely tamed heat. He came to D.C. for a wedding, ready to hate every second of it. Then Tasha walks in.

Sharp-tongued. Beautiful. Untouchable.

And everything he’s never let himself want.

She doesn’t chase. But she stares him down like she could eat him alive.

He doesn’t beg. But he starts doing things he’s never done before. Like talking. Like needing.

Now she’s in his arms, in his truck, in his bed and nothing feels simple anymore.

He was supposed to be a weekend.
She was supposed to be a warning.
Instead, they ruin each other in all the best ways.


A slow-burn, high-heat, opposites-attract BWWM romance full of wild tension, dirty talk, country heat, and emotional gut-punches.
