Amy Daws · Mountain Men Matchmaker #3
A man enters a lumberjack competition to marry his best friend before a serial killer does — or that's the plan.
Fact or fiction: becoming a lumberjack and marrying your best friend so she can inherit her family business is a great idea. When Addison “Roe” Monroe tells me she’s going on a husband hunt at the local lumberjack competition so she can inherit her father’s lumberyard, I think she has finally lost her mind. But my stubborn friend, who would rather drive a forklift than get her nails done, refused my first marriage offer. And since I can’t stomach watching Roe hitch her wagon to some hulking ax wielder who might be a serial killer, I decide that desperate times require desperate measures. Call me Lumberjack Luke. I’ll do whatever it takes to get her to accept my proposal because she’s more than just a friend. And the way she looks back at me? I think she knows it. On the surface, I’m offering a marriage of convenience to protect her. But the truth is...I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend. Marrying her and moving her up to Fletcher Mountain might mean I’ve lost my mind too, but so be it. Because the only thing I would regret more, is never trying. And that’s a fact.
