Brewing Temptation: A slow burn, fake dating, small town romance.
Sydne Barnett
Fleeing a dangerous ex to Alaska, she never expected the grumpy fisherman next door to become her fake boyfriend.
Description
Noel Mistyvale, Alaska, was a far cry from my hometown of Tampa, Florida, the fog-shrouded emerald mountains markers of my fresh start. A new beginning, as far away from my psycho ex-boyfriend as possible without leaving the country. I was prepared to settle in a new, tiny town and the challenges that came with it. What I wasn’t prepared for was the tattooed, surly, sexy fisherman next door. Jameson Rhodes was the kind of man that would melt women and shamelessly return them to their loved ones in a liquid state contained in a damn mason jar. Would five-thousand miles be enough to start my new life, or would my troubles transform the town grump into my own personal superhero? Jameson As a third-generation fisherman, my plan has always been to uphold the tradition of the Rhodes Away and look after this damn town. At least, it was until my brother came home to visit and left trouble on my doorstep in the form of a five-foot-two, red-haired bombshell with an attitude problem.Noel McShane was a walking tornado of sass and sex appeal, wreaking havoc on my once simple life. She tore onto my island and somehow, I found myself in uncharted waters, playing her fake boyfriend to keep her monster of an ex at bay. With my family legacy on the line, could I resist her colors, curls and chaos, or would she capsize even my best laid plans?RELEASES 11/3/23
