Echar el lazo (Silver Pines, 3)

For years, Ginger Danforth has tried to convince herself that Cole Ashby is nothing more than her best friend’s older brother. Sure, he’s incredibly handsome, he always shows up when she needs him, and there’s an undeniable tension between them—but Cole isn’t looking for a relationship, and Ginger refuses to be just another one-night stand. Cole has just become the sheriff of Laurel Creek, and his priorities are clear: his daughter, Mabel; his job; and avoiding any scandal that might jeopardize the position he’s worked so hard to earn. The last thing he needs is to lose control around Ginger—the one woman who knows exactly how to drive him crazy… and the only person with whom he can truly be himself. But a weekend in Las Vegas—fueled by one too many chocolate martinis and a challenge that spirals out of control—ends with the two of them married. Cole’s solution seems simple: stay married for eighty-three days, until his probationary period as sheriff is over. Ginger will move in with him for the summer to help with Mabel, and they’ll both pretend that nothing has changed.
