Chicago City Girl Tackles Colorado Mountains with Sexy, Reclusive Guide Avery Oliver can see the byline now. What better way to jumpstart her journalism career than to head out into the woods with a sexy guide? It's all very Bear Grylls, but she'll take it, even if it means ditching her beloved designer suits and handbags. All Sullivan Reed needs in life is a fly rod and the roar of a river. Playing guide to a hot little reporter can't end well...until they strike a deal that's mutually beneficial. She'll pretend to be his girlfriend to deflect an overly flirtatious neighbor, and he'll help her with the article. It's a win-win. Until it isn't. By the time a storm strands them in his cabin, Sully's done pretending. He wants Avery—badly—but she's a big-city girl looking for adventure, not his simple life. So why does releasing her feel like he's lost the perfect catch?
