Sparks and rumors fly in this spicy friends-to-lovers romance from bestselling and award-winning author Lydia Michaels.

When a hot lumberjack falls for the new curvy girl in town, small-town gossip spreads like wildfire...

Finnegan McCullough never expected to find a blue-eyed bombshell trespassing on his family's mountain—but one look at Mallory Fenton's thick thighs and smart mouth, and he's done for. She's funny, gorgeous, and completely off-limits.

Mallory didn't move to a new town for love, and she definitely doesn't trust good-looking men to stick around. But Finn isn't just any guy—he's the greenest-flag, golden-retriever, flannel-wearing dream she never saw coming.

A steamy, feel-good small-town romance—where lumberjacks love big, and curvy girls always win.

Lydia Michaels is the bestselling and award-winning author of more than forty novels. She writes heart-clenching, unpredictable romance with dark elements and high heat. Her work is character-driven and bursting with broken heroes and badass females. With a sweet spot for overbearing, territorial types, her deeply emotional books are spicy, emotionally satisfying, and guaranteed to leave readers with many book hangovers.

Lydia Michaels started her author career in 2007, quickly becoming a recognized presence in the publishing industry. The Surrender Trilogy, her breakout series with Penguin Random House, shared many Barnes & Noble endcaps with fellow bestsellers Sylvia Day and EL James, boosting her career as a to-be-read newbie author. She has since been featured by national media outlets such as USA Today and Romantic Times Magazine and starred as a guest on multiple podcasts.

Michaels is happily married to her childhood sweetheart. Her favorite things include cooking Italian cuisine, hosting extravagant dinner parties, sipping martinis, listening to her husband play piano, and escaping to her coastal home on the Jersey Shore. She'''Â¬''€žÂ¢s an LGBTQ ally, a BLM supporter, and a firm believer that the patriarchy must burn (women'''Â¬''€žÂ¢s rights are human rights).
