Angie Davidson never expected to feel so adrift after her best friend’s wedding at Quick Silver Ranch. With nothing tying her down and no clear direction, she’s restless—until the ranch’s brooding, sinfully handsome co-owner catches her eye. Jared Turner is distant, untouchable… until the moment their lips meet, and the world catches fire. Jared doesn’t do attachments, but he can’t ignore the way Angie surrenders so perfectly beneath his touch. He offers her a challenge—two weeks to explore the explosive passion simmering between them, no strings attached. He’s been burned before, rejected for his brand of desire, and he refuses to let history repeat itself. But Angie isn’t like anyone he’s known, and with every stolen moment, every heated night, she burrows deeper under his skin. As desire turns into something neither of them expected, they’ll have to decide if taking a risk on love is worth the ultimate surrender. grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, dominant/submissive dynamic, wounded hero, and fear of commitment
