The Bachelor’s Winning Bid

With her sisters blissfully partnered, Sunny enters a Valentine’s Day bachelorette auction, dreaming of her own shot at love. Worst decision ever. She doesn’t know what to wear or how to do her hair and makeup, and only one person bids on her after endless seconds of silence. Mortified, Sunny flees.

Burned-out architect Thorne Westbrook traded corporate grind for his own firm and a balanced life, but blueprints can’t fill the void. At the auction, on a whim, he bids high on the wide-eyed beauty no one else wants. She vanishes before hello, so he chases her to small-town Marietta, Montana, hungry for that date…and maybe more.

Defenses crumble over dinner confessions, fascination blooms and passions ignite. But can two wary, guarded people trust each other to finally get it right?
