Sexy Dirty Cowboy

Getting arrested in front of 20,000 screaming rodeo fans wasn't exactly part of Rem "Viper" James's plan, but then again, neither was spending years hiding an outlaw biker past behind a cowboy hat and championship belt buckle.

Now Rem faces an ultimatum: testify against his old motorcycle club or trade his boots for a prison cell—permanently. With enemies who have a habit of making witnesses disappear, he doesn't have much choice. What he doesn't count on is the infuriating, sharp-tongued detective assigned to keep him breathing.

Whitney Nicholson already has one embarrassing blind spot on her record after her ex's secret life exploded across the evening news. The last thing this small-town cop needs is to be saddled with a smooth-talking ex-criminal who looks criminally good in denim. The second-to-last thing she needs is to pose as his wife in a tiny country town where everyone knows everyone's business and absolutely nobody is fooled.

Rem thinks this arrangement is amusing. Whitney thinks it's a professional nightmare. They both think the other is completely insufferable.

They're both absolutely right—and completely wrong about everything else.

As the danger closing in around them gets very real, very fast, the lines between fake and genuine start to blur in ways neither of them saw coming. Because it turns out the only thing more dangerous than Rem's enemies is the inconvenient, undeniable chemistry between a dirty cowboy and the detective who can't stand him.
