No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Hopeless romantic Kian Bellevue cant help falling for the wrong guys. Maybe its because he lost his parents so young, maybe its just his caring nature, but he cant stop diving in when he should be heading for the hills. And just when he decides to swear off guys for the summer, he meets drop-dead gorgeous Jack Thorsen, who might just be the man of his dreams.
Its not fair, because Kian doesnt even have time for guys right now. His hometown of Maple Springs, Minnesota is considering selling miles of pristine wilderness to a Wall Street billionaire who wants to open a resort and play at being a hotelier. But Kians spent his whole life fighting against big businesses and hes ready to go toe-to-toe with the mystery mogul - until he realizes that the billionaire is Jack himself.
***So whats your flaw? Why are you still single?
Well, for starters, I always fall for jerks.
Should I be relieved, then, that you dont want to go out with me?
The problem is, Jack, I think youre exactly my type.***
Billionaire Jack Thorsen is married to his work and likes it that way. Growing up in foster care taught him to look out for himself and since the day he left for college, hes never stopped striving. Despite his best friends urging, hes not looking for a guy. Even after he meets sweet and sexy Kian Bellevue, hes still determined to keep his guard up. People cant hurt you if you never let them close.
But its not like Jack doesnt have a heart. When he finds out that Maple Springs, the home he left behind, is on the brink of bankruptcy, he proposes to buy their unused public lands and create an eco-resort. Its an obvious win-win - who could oppose it? That is, who, other than Kian, the guy he cant get out of his head.
***Are you sure this is a good idea? Things with us are complicated.
So is life. But you make me feel good. And I need that tonight.***
Jack needs Kian on his side if he wants the town to vote in favor of his resort and hes not afraid to play dirty. His proposition: Kian spends the summer with him. If Jack convinces Kian to support him, Kian will get the town on Jacks side. But if he fails, Jack will withdraw the proposal completely. Its a crazy bet, but Kian would be crazy to turn it down - right?
Theres only one problem. Jack - tall, handsome, and emotionally unavailable - is exactly Kians type. And Kian is surprisingly good at breaking down the barriers Jack spent years putting up. With their hearts on the line as well as a hotel, will both men risk it all for a chance at love?
