Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

The slow-burn enemies-to-lovers chemistry between Rhett and Summer is addictive—their banter crackles and when the walls finally come down, the payoff hits hard. Perfect comfort read with a cowboy who will ruin you for real men.
