Holden Rhodes in Your Dream

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
The deal is simple: the grumpy guy will pay off my debt if I find him a wife. Holden Rhodes is grouchy, unfairly hot, and has hated me for years, making him the last person I'd expect to inherit an inn with. As we renovate the inn and work on his dating skills, I discover a surprising side to him.

Adding 'friends with benefits' to our agreement ignites a chemistry so intense it could burn down the inn. Holden is a secret romantic, and I'm secretly falling for him. Despite my bartending disasters and viral mishaps, Holden Rhodes turns out to be so much more than I expected.

A spicy grumpy-sunshine friends-with-benefits small town romantic comedy with a happy ever after. Book 3 in the Queen's Cove series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The deal is simple: the grumpy guy will pay off my debt if I find him a wife.

Holden Rhodes in Your Dream introduces us to Holden Rhodes, who is grouchy, unfairly hot, and has hated me for years. He's the last person I'd choose to inherit an inn with. As we renovate the inn and practice his dating skills, I see a different side of him.

Was I all wrong about Holden?

When we add 'friends with benefits' to the deal, our chemistry is so hot the sparks could burn down the inn. Holden's a secret romantic, and I'm secretly falling for him.

I'm terrible at bartending, a video of a bear stealing my toy went viral, and everyone in this small town knows my business, but Holden Rhodes is so much more than I expected.

I don't want him to find love with anyone but me.

A spicy grumpy-sunshine friends-with-benefits small town romantic comedy with an HEA. This is book 3 in the Queen's Cove series, but can be read as a standalone.
