Francesca "Frankie"

Getting financially cut off from my controlling father might be the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Leaving home with only what I could fit in a small suitcase and heading out on a road trip with less than three thousand dollars to my name might be the best or the worst decision I've ever made.

Having my car break down in the small town of Lovesbury the day before Valentine's Day is truly a twist of fate, as the tall, dark, and handsome grumpy mechanic can't get the part he needs for my car until Monday, leaving me stranded in Lovesbury over the Valentine's Day weekend.

Thanks to his younger sister, I'm now their houseguest for the next three days, to his dismay. Bidding on him at the Bachelor Auction is the icing on the cake when the grumpy mechanic is forced to spend a romantic date with me.

Vale

As a confirmed bachelor, I swore off women a long time ago, but unfortunately, my younger sister decides to play matchmaker, doing everything in her power to throw the beautiful, curvy, spoiled rich girl whose car is the only thing I should be putting my hands on, in my path -- even tricking me into signing up for the Valentine's Day Bachelor Auction.

And you'll never guess who the winning bidder is.

Welcome to Lovesbury -- where the town's most rugged, off-limits bachelors are up for auction... and they fall hard the moment they're claimed. It's supposed to be one weekend but once she's his, he's never letting go. Fast, steamy, and obsessed in all the right ways with an HEA that hits just as hard as the heat.
