About The Book:

In the small West Texas town of Whynot, why not let love bloom in the most unlikely place?

After breaking up with my boyfriend, getting fired from my dream job, and escaping to a small town where no one knows me—I make two promises to myself.

No more hiding who I am. No more letting chances pass me by.

Those promises are the perfect way to ruin my life all over again.

Dallas Whynot. He’s the kind and muscled mechanic who has a little free library in his yard and a primal kink.

June Moore. She’s the tattooed, pink-haired florist who’s tougher than nails and sweeter than a rose.

Running off to Whynot for an artist residency is exactly what I need. What I don’t need is to start a new relationship with one person, let alone two.

With that in mind, the three of us strike a deal I can’t resist.

Six weeks of hot, kinky sex. No attachments. No feelings. Just friends with benefits.

Which would be perfect if I weren’t already falling for them both…

In this FFM small town romance, you’ll find:
– Best Friend’s Older Brother
– Friends to Lovers
– MMC who loves books
– A mechanic, florist, and animator
– Hurt/Comfort
– Primal chasing
– & more
