Description

I thought I’d be miserable planning my ex’s wedding, but a rugged cowboy turned distiller knows just how to relieve the pressure. After fleeing back home to Huckleberry Springs, Montana, I become the new event planner for my family’s guest ranch. But the first event to plan is my cousin’s wedding to my cheating ex. If I don’t, my uncle won’t sign over his share of the ranch and forever mettle in our lives. So I take one for the team.One night when I buckle under the stress, I also get a little—a lot—drunk. Saving me from myself is one of the cowboys that used to work for my dad. Durban Hennessy is now part owner in the local distillery, and he doesn’t do drama, distractions, or hot messes that just threw up on his boots. Still, he brings me to his place so I can sober up in private.Durban’s providing wet bar service throughout the wedding festivities. The distiller with a superiority complex and I cross paths too often, but when he finds me in a store room, spiraling during the groom’s family dinner, he relieves the pressure in the hottest way possible.So we strike a bargain. He’ll help me relax in the steamiest way possible, and he can repair his ego after getting dumped by his long distance relationship. When impromptu hookups turn into sleepovers that include intimate pillow talk, I know I’m in trouble. Because our whiskey bargain ends when the wedding does.
