Publisher Description
A sharp, emotional novel about a tough-minded bar owner who makes a deal with a devil of a cowboy—and might just get burned…
Moving to Montana to buy a dive bar with her two best friends sounds like a can’t-miss idea to Charly Henwood. The scenery is breathtaking, and the cowboys aren’t bad-looking either. Not that Charly’s interested. Her heart is as unmovable as the surrounding mountains. After her cheating ex-boyfriend destroyed their relationship and their nightclub, she’s determined to take care of herself, her friends and their bar.
But it turns out the regulars resent newcomers swapping their craft beer for an extensive cocktail menu. One is particularly not happy—The Naked Moose’s previous owner, Jaxon Reed. The last thing Charly needs is a cocky cowboy telling her how to run her bar, or her life. But maybe she can use Jaxon to her advantage. If he’ll agree to be the prize in a charity auction, Charly will make the bar a little more cowboy-friendly.
When that plan backfires, Charly finds herself doing battle with the biggest temptation in Timber Falls. A man who has made it his mission to win her over, using every infernal means at his disposal. And if her resolve goes up in flames, her heart is sure to follow…
From showing up to glowing up, these characters are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way.

Customer Reviews
Captivating!
This wonderful read has an abundance of feels, and plenty of aww moments. I simply adored Jaxon and Charly and their story turned my insides into marshmallows. I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity, passion and emotion. Some lines are quick, witted storylines, and are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat into these characters. So reading this opposite-attract love story didn’t disappoint!
Jaxon Reed and Charly Henwood come alive page after page.
Becoming a third-generation top-notch quarter horse breeder, wasn’t what Jaxon Reed had planned to do so suddenly, but after his father’s passing he couldn’t let his family’s ranch break apart and lose its legacy.
Before his father’s death, Jaxon had owned a bar on Main Street that he had been proud, that he’d brought to the town—a place where the locals felt like they belonged. And tonight his best friends and himself needed to hit up his old bar The Naked Moose’s for its grand opening and see what the new owners had done with it.
When they arrived he was shocked, he felt like he’d stepped into a place that not only didn’t cater to anyone he knew in Timber Falls, but that the bar did not belong in a small rustic town.
And then he saw Charly, and she was not like anyone he’d ever met before.
Charly Henwood and her two best friends Willow and Aubrey has bought The Naked Moose in Timber Falls, Montana. They had called in their backup pact and were all starting over, after all of them had gone through hard times in the last few years. Willow had endured an abusive ex-boyfriend. Aubrey had quit her job because of harassment and Charly caught her fiancé cheating on her. They completely revamped the small town bar into an upscale bar. And since they all were mending broken hearts, themselves, they wanted a place that brought women together and celebrated them, while also providing the town with something it lacked, a higher-end bar.
But what happens when the locals aren’t so happy about what they have done? They have everything invested in their venture. Can they make it here?
I absolutely loved the journey this book took me on! So full of life and love, fire, and passion, angst, and turmoil. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!
I received an early copy, and this is my honest review.
