Alone and Looking to Bone! Loudmouthed Mountain Man Seeks Fiery Woman to Grow Old With.
I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal…but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.
All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother’s destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I’m stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.
Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.
Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.
Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn’t sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.
What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.
Suddenly, Dakota’s not just the person I love to fight with.
She’s the woman I want everything with.

Excerpt #1
“I think we should be friends with benefits,” the mountain man says as he drives down the interstate that leads us back to Boulder.
“But…we’re not friends,” I blurt out as I turn to look at him to make sure he hasn’t been possessed by a demon.
He shrugs. “Semantics.”
My mouth opens and closes over and over like one of those silly singing bass wall hangings. He’s got to be messing with me right now, right? He doesn’t sleep with women more than once…at least not on purpose. “So instead of being my wingman, you want to be my eff buddy?”
“If you’re intent on a label, you can call us enemies with benefits.” He smiles like he’s casually talking about the weather. “It’s honestly genius because if you’re friends with benefits, feelings are bound to get involved because you both already like each other. You hating me makes this much easier.”
“Don’t you think we need to get along for something like this to actually work?”
“Got along just fine ten minutes ago at that adults only club.” Calder shoots me a dark look that I feel squarely between my legs. “Just consider me your emotionally distant private masseuse.”
My mind reels with this proposition that I did not have on my bingo card in my postdivorce era. A casual affair with Calder Fletcher…the contractor who ruined my house and my wedding dress seven years ago. It sounds like a horrible idea that’s sure to end in catastrophe.
Then again, it also sounds kind of poetic in some strange way. It’s like revenge or something. And he’s not the same guy he was seven years ago. I’ve seen that in more ways than one the past few weeks.
I shake that thought away, trying not to let my heart get too involved with this discussion. “I thought you never hook up with girls twice.”
“I don’t usually, but it’s not really a rule I have.”
“So I would be an exception?”
Calder’s jaw muscle twitches. “Sure, Ace. You’re an exception.”
“Why exactly am I the exception?”
He exhales. “I just think you’ve been out of the game for a while, and jumping headfirst into an adult club is too risky.”
“Risky.”
“You have to walk before you can run,” he adds with a smirk that sends my belly into somersaults. “And with any luck, even walking with be hard when I’m done with you.”
