"My first day in Montana, I got into a tug-of-war over a shopping cart. The most handsome man I'd ever seen broke up the scuffle before he asked me on a date. I was seconds away from accepting, but then he told me his name. As an owner of the Haven River Ranc, Jax Haven wasn't my boss. But he wasn't not my boss either. Obviously, my only option was to turn him down, scurry away, then pretend like he was a stranger on my first day of work. And obviously, I could never, ever admit that he was my secret crush. FOr as hard as I work at my job, I work twice as hard to pretend Jax doesn't exist. I don't let myself think about his dazzling eyes or charming smile. I refuse t acknowledge how good he looks in a pair of faded Wrangler jeans. And as tempting as he is in a cowboy hat, Jax is a distraction I cannot afford. Everything was going according to plan until the annual holiday party. Until I drank one too many flues of champagne and let him sweep me off my feet. After a night in his bed, there was no more ignoring Jax Haven. Now when I'm pregnant with his baby."--Publisher description.
