An unbidden laugh slipped out of me, and she softened at the sound. Her eyes traced the lines of my face with an unfamiliar emotion behind them. It was a sort of fondness, an admiration.
āI love it when you laugh. You never laugh. Or smile. Has anyone ever told you you have nice teeth?ā
āWouldnāt you knowāthatās the first thing anyone says about me,ā I teased.
With a laugh of her own, she tried to bump me with her hip, but because she was drunk, she just sort of fell right into me. For the second time in ten minutes, Oliviaās body was flush against mine.
But this time it wasnāt just the sweet scent of her that I noticed. It was the length of her dark lashes, the endless depth of her eyes. It was that smart little nose and the valley that connected it to her lips. Those lips were full and wide, with a bow so deep and sharp, it looked like itād been carved there by a sculptor. I could have counted the smattering of freckles on her cheeks or the creases in those plump, rosy lips, which parted just a little. Just enough for me to capture one if I tried.


Olivia Brent has one summer to save the dairy farm she just inherited.
But thereās one problem, and itās not her lactose intolerance.
Jake Milovic.
The brooding farmhand has inherited exactly fifty percent of Brent Farm, and heās so convinced the city girl canāt work the land, he bets she canāt save it in a summer.
Determined to prove him wrong, Olivia accepts what might be the dumbest wager of her life.
His strategy to win seems simple: follow her around, shirtlessly distracting her between bouts of relentless taunting. And itās effectiveāif his dark eyes and rare smiles arenāt enough to sidetrack her, the sweaty, rolling topography of the manbeastās body would do the trick.
What they donāt know: theyāll have to weather more than each other.
Mysterious circumstances throw the farm into disarray, and with the dairy farm in danger, Olivia and Jake have to work together. But when they do, thereās more to fear than either of them imagined.
Because now their hearts are on the line, and the farm wonāt be the only casualty if they fail.
