Hot flashes aren’t supposed to lead to flashing the latest eligible bachelor to show up in town. And yet that’s exactly what Scarlett Coleman managed to do. Gavin Blackwood is visiting Black Wolf’s Bluff for his friend’s Christmas wedding, and when he shows up unexpectedly to give her a lift to JD and Lily’s rehearsal dinner, she accidentally shows him a lot more than she meant to. Even Scarlett, romance author extraordinaire, couldn’t have written a more disastrous meet-cute. Gavin thought the week before JD’s wedding would be boring. His friends have all paired off with the lovely women of Black Wolf’s Bluff, leaving him on his own—until he sees everything Scarlett has to offer. Now she’s all this Scotsman wants for Christmas. But what happens when the holidays—and the wedding—are over and Gavin returns to Scotland? They weren’t expecting their attraction to last beyond Christmas. They certainly weren’t expecting a happy ever after. But in Black Wolf’s Bluff, well, who knows? Don't miss the latest in this steamy small-town later in life rom-com romance series!
