Description
When Pepper Woods left Hideaway Springs nearly a decade ago, it was good riddance.The polished homecoming queen and class president was far too 'city girl' for my likes, anyway.
I barely even noticed when she got engaged to the President's son.
Now, she's back in town. And she's just walked into my father's inn, with a veil tucked under her arm.
I should walk away. I've got hockey practice in an hour and she's the last person I need distracting me. So why does she wind up pressed against me on the back of my motorcycle?
And how have I ended up as her fake fiance?

Person
Roxanne Tully grew up in New York City, where she studied theatre and screen writing. Her passion for storytelling started very young - even if it never made it on paper. Now, she writes contemporary small-town romances with strong, realistic heroines, steam, banter and a healthy dose of angst. When Roxanne isn't writing, she enjoys baking, jogging with her golden-doodle, and practicing flirty banter with her real-life male hero.
