Win the bet, lose the guy. That's the problem Novalie Marchand finds herself facing when the man who broke her heart in high school turns up at Rawhide Ranch. Only, Lincoln Donall isn’t the bad boy rebel she remembers. Linc is all grown up, and he's all Daddy. And he's on a mission to find a bride to take back to his remote Alaskan island. So he enlists Nova's help to find him the perfect Little. But the more time she spends with Linc, the clearer it becomes that he's not just looking for any Little. He wants Nova. When the clock strikes midnight, she'll have to Move into the New Year with the man she's loved for half her life or let old hurts keep her locked in the past.
