She needs a lucky break if she's making ends meet. He's stuck running one of the family's smaller hotel casinos. Could pretending to be engaged be a gamble that pays off for both of them?

DONNA

Fleeing San Francisco for Coogan's Break was so much easier than dealing with things that went bump in the middle of the night. Usually Bryan—my ex—drunk and attempting to break in.

Three months later and I'm in a dead-end job for a guy who pays below minimum wage, and who thinks state taxes are optional. I'm also short on my latest rent payment.

Entering the casino at Maddigan's Resort and Spa, I'm hoping for a small payout. But could the gorgeous Liam Maddigan prove himself my ultimate jackpot?

LIAM

I know why I'm stuck in Coogan's Break. It's because dad wants me to abandon the playboy lifestyle and settle down. He might have mentioned grandchildren.

I've been here two months already, and it's killing me. The thought of spending the summer in small town California has me cursing his name until I spot her.

The way Donna Wilder has herself perched on that bar stool does it for me. Could it be life is about to get interesting AND I can keep the old man off my back?

If you love a steamy read with a healthy dose of instalove, then welcome to Coogan's Break, where the girls love their curves, and the guys are hotter than hell. This is a HOT opposites attract, romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after and no cheating. It also has sexy times aplenty. Enjoy!
