The Maverick's Christmas Countdown (Montana Mavericks: The Trail to Tenacity #5)

From friends to lovers…in four weeks?

Allison Taylor knew she was in over her head. What was she thinking, asking her Seattle neighbor Rowan Scott to be her fake boyfriend for the holidays? Now she’s trapped with the sexy dude-next-door under the same roof in Bronco, trying to keep her overbearing father at bay—and her long-hidden crush on her faux beau under the covers as long as possible. The surprise is on Rowan, though, when his favor for Allison forces him to confront his true feelings for her. His spontaneous “proposal”—to prove their love to her family—only makes things messier. But maybe the magic of a snowy Montana Christmas could lead them to a happy ending in spite of it all…
