Amelia Markley returns in the spicy final installment of her Canyon Creek series as Lincoln Cooper attempts to convince his stubborn coworker that their fake relationship could become something very real.

Cordelia Green doesn’t take shit from anyone. As the only female Game Warden on her crew, she has no problem taking care of herself. But when her ass of an ex-fiancé tracks her down, asking for another chance, she runs to the person she least expects to help her—her nemesis slash stupidly handsome coworker. Before she loses her nerve, she marches up to Lincoln Cooper in the middle of a crowded bar and begs him to kiss her.

Lincoln Cooper has been biding his time, but it looks like his wait is over. He’s had his sights set on Cordelia Green since her first day as a fellow Game Warden, even though she made her disdain for him perfectly clear. Determined to win her attention—even if through bickering—Lincoln has played into the feud. When years of carefully camouflaging his massive crush for a co-worker go down the drain with a single “please,” Lincoln steps in and puts on a show. Now that they’re in a fake relationship, will Lincoln be able to convince Cordelia that the heat between them is real?

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.
