A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

He’s a player. She has no intention of getting played. But the rules of this game change everything.

Tess Stanton is marking things off her bucket list. A trip to Alaska should be fun. Except her jerk of an ex left her in a cranky mood. Nathan Winters—a way too handsome and charming guide—is disarmingly distracting.

Nathan excels at flirting and usually doesn’t have to work to reel in a woman. Tess wants nothing to do with him, but her reserve is a challenge he wants to win.

What was supposed to be a fun fling becomes so much more once Nathan and Tess yield to the sparks flying between them. When Tess returns home, far away from Alaska, she is confronted with just how much Nathan means to her.

Nathan has no question that Tess is the woman for him, and he’s willing to follow her anywhere to prove it to her.

Nathan & Tess's story is perfect for readers who love: protective, flirty heroes, slow burn, vacation/travel romance, starting over, chemistry gone wild, small town shenanigans, emotional romance with a dash of angst, oodles of steam and swoon, and a golden retriever hero who will protect the woman he loves with everything he has.

*A full-length standalone romance.
