Part of Fool's Gold, book 20
First published 2016
Baker Shelby Gilmore carries wounds from her past that make trusting men nearly impossible. She devises an unusual plan to heal her stubborn psyche: find a male friend in tiny Fool's Gold who will agree to never date her. Enter Aidan Mitchell, the dark and charming owner of Mitchell Adventure Tours who has earned an unwanted reputation as a one-night Casanova with female tourists. Aidan realizes he has become exactly the kind of man he never wanted to be, and everyone in town knows it. When Shelby proposes her friendship experiment, Aidan sees a chance to change his ways and reclaim his self-respect. As the unlikely pair explores what men and women really want from each other, undeniable chemistry sparks between them. The Fool's Gold rumor mill goes into overdrive watching their every move. If nobody believes they are just friends anyway, maybe Aidan and Shelby should stop fighting their attraction and give the gossips something worth talking about.
