Melina Morales is a good girl.
A hardworking, ambitious, follows-all-the-rules girl. Maybe thatâs why her coworkers call her the
ice queen. She might care if it werenât for the looming pile of debt and her familyâs dependence
on her. But with her dream job on the line, sheâs determined to succeed, no matter the sacrifice.
Thereâs just one tiny, six-foot-something problem. . .
Zane Wilder is a bad boy.
The Holiday Springs bartender is the guy everyone turns to for a good timeâespecially the
women. Except lately heâs been unsatisfied. Maybe itâs got something to do with the drunken
kiss he shared with Melina, but since heâs not interested in commitment, he figures thereâll never
be a chance to find out.
When Melina agrees to one date in return for a favor, they both quickly realize thereâs something
between them. But itâs going to take Zane a lot more than his fun-loving ways and easy charm
to convince the good girl to give him a serious shot.
This time, heâll have to risk his heart.
Escape to the romantic paradise of Holiday Springs and warm up with your next happily ever
after.
Excerpt
Copyright @Kim Bailey 2020
âI knew he was into you!â Avery shouted. âI frickinâ told you so!â
âItâs only one date, Av.â One date and a huge pile of regret just waiting to happen. âBesides, he hasnât confirmed the caterer yet. There wonât be a date if he doesnât make good on his promise.â
âWhat. Ever. I have no doubt heâll come through.â She pushed one of the shots of Jägermeister sheâd ordered toward me, encouraging me to down it.
âGod, I love being right.â She beamed at me as the liquor burned its way down my throat. âI told you he had a thing for youâŚI bet itâs a really big thing, too.â She smirked. âI bet itâs huge.â
If Olivia and Lucie were my teammates, Avery was our MVP. Best friends since we were five, she was like another sister to me. But like all siblings, sometimes I really didnât like her much.
âIâve got something huge for you over here, sweetheart,â one of the mountain men called.
âIf that were true, you wouldnât need to advertise it,â Avery called back, not missing a beat.
And sometimes, I really, really loved her.
âItâs one date,â I repeated, watching the burly guy try to hide his embarrassment at being schooled by a tiny blue-eyed blonde.
âBut who knows where one date will lead. I mean, you two have already kissed.â
âTwice.â
She froze with her drink halfway to her mouth, both her eyes and lips round.
âHe kissed me again this morning,â I confided.
As much as I loved and trusted Avery, I hadnât planned on telling her this partâher current reaction being the main reason why. But the booze had loosened my tongue and a few of my inhibitions.
âPlease close your mouth before big-dick guy offers you something to put in it,â I begged. âZane kissing me is not that exciting. Or that simple.â
Liar. Liar. Liar.
âWhatâs complicated about it?â Her face screwed up in disbelief, the tint of pink in her cheeks upping her adorable factor. No wonder all the men stared; my best friend was a living doll. âDeny it all you want, Meli, but I know you like him.â
I swallowed back half my beer as I wrestled with that notion. She was right, of course; I did like him. But liking Zane magic-lips Wilder was never the issue.
âWe work together, and heâs the resort ownerâs nephew. What if it ends badly, or worse, what if my boss finds out?â
âDidnât your boss meet her husband at the resort?â
I took another deep swig of beer and avoided answering her question.
But Avery kept on rolling. âIn fact,â she mused, her head tilting to the side like a fascinated kitten. âDidnât you mention he was her boss at the time? Call me crazy, but I think thatâs fraternizing-101.â

đ§ĄReviewđ§Ą
There isnât anything that Melina wouldnât do for her family and that is one of the reasons why this promotion at work is so important. She has focused all her attention on her career and doesnât have the time or energy for a relationship especially with a sexy bartender who is only looking for a fun fling.
Zane is a good employee, a loyal friend and has a way with the ladies. He comes across as a flirt without a care in the world but when Melina needs his help she is about to find out that appearances can be deceiving.
This is a sweet and sexy story about two people who not only need to overcome obstacles from outside forces but obstacles that they put between themselves as well.
