Amelia Markley returns in the spicy third installment of her Canyon Creek series as Maverick Cooper struggles to be a good boss and not lust after the feisty new bartender they just hired whose looks and personality are making him feel some type of way…
Dylan Hawthorne has never met a man she could trust. When her scummy boss proves her right by offering a promotion in exchange for something more from her, she doesn’t hesitate to walk out and make a mess on the way. But now she needs a new job—and fast—if she wants to make sure her kid brother is taken care of her and her dream of owning her own restaurant stays alive. Thank goodness her cousin works at the only bar in town that also happens to need a new bartender.
Maverick Cooper is content with his life owning The Hollow Whiskey bar and watching his oldest brother and twin sister each find the loves of their life. He’s sure his time will come too and until then he’ll just try not to think too much about what (who) else hasn’t come in a while… Which may change when a fiery new bartender is hired to help them out. He’s determined not to be like all the other horrible men she’s met in her life, but he also can’t seem to resist her pull or jumping to her rescue any time she needs help. Will Maverick hold the line, or will Dylan learn that maybe there are exceptions out there after all?
Praise for Headfirst (Canyon Creek #1)
"A small town full of character and found family I want to join!" —Mollie Goins, author of the Boston Blues series
"Headfirst is a delicious blend of heartwarming touches, family dynamics, and sizzling (off-limits) tension. A fun, sexy little romp of a book that I absolutely devoured!" —Amanda Linsmeier, author of A Dance With Death (The Three Bells Trilogy #1)
"This book is more delicious than fair food, and just as impossible to resist! Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Headfirst is a spicy small-town romance with an overprotective, tattoo artist single dad and the sassy nanny he simply will not fall for. But just like Wes Cooper with Ivy, you're going to be powerless to stop yourself from falling Headfirst!" —Julie Cook, author of Off Course
"When laid-off teacher Ivy is in need of a new job, her coworker delivers—in more ways than one—in setting her up to care for her brother Wes's little girl, Delilah. Wes, a tattoo shop owner, is locked tighter than Fort Knox, and Ivy needs to maintain boundaries to keep her job. But their attraction is undeniable, and Markley gives the readers just enough steam and humor in each chapter to keep us wanting more, too. The small-town The Nanny we didn't know we needed!" —Jen Michalski, author of All This Can Be True
Amelia Markley is a writer and enjoyer of spicy romantic comedy. She’s probably reading two to three books at all times and can’t seem to stop. So what did she do? Threw another one into the mix—her own.
In her spare time—when not reading—she loves to spend time with her family, coach her kids’ soccer team, and bake in the sun like a lizard. You'll also find her at her desk with a Diet Coke between the hours of 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. when she gets most of her writing done. She hopes you take pleasure in what came out of her brain during those times. She lives in California with her husband, their two kids, and two dogs.
