In the wake of some surprising career news, Billie vows to start checking things off her bucket list. First taking chances and going after what she wants by bidding on Wyatt. The tax deductible donation is just a bonus.
Thrown together by two meddling matriarchs for a romantic date, will Wyatt and Billie finally give in to their simmering chemistry?
Book 12 for my ANZ April Readathon Challenge (@aussie_indie_hub) by @emma.mugglestone.
This was such a sweet, spicy small town romance that I devoured in one sitting.
The mutual pining was everything. You can feel how much they care about each other in every interaction. And Billie deciding she’s done waiting and bidding on Wyatt at the bachelor auction? I loved her for that.
Even though it is a novella, it still carries emotional depth with themes of healing, forgiveness, and finally letting oneself be loved.
Perfect if you’re in the mood for something quick, heartfelt, and full of tender, feel-good romance.
