From a New York Times bestselling author, a love at first sight romance that’s perfect for fans of Gena Showalter and Julie James.

The road trip was definitely a bad idea. Having already flambéed her culinary career beyond recognition, Rita Clarkson is now stranded in God-Knows-Where, New Mexico, with a busted-ass car and her three temperamental siblings, who she hasn’t seen in years. When rescue shows up—six-feet-plus of hot, charming sex on a motorcycle—Rita’s pretty certain she’s gone from the frying pan right into the fire …

Jasper Ellis has a bad boy reputation in this town, and he loathes it. The moment he sees Rita, though, Jasper knows he’s about to be sorely tempted. There’s something real between them. Something raw. And Jasper has only a few days to show Rita that he isn’t just for tonight—he’s forever.

  • “Tessa disarms you with a laugh, heats things up past boiling, and then puts a squeeze inside your heart. The tenderness, vulnerability and heat I am always guaranteed with a Tessa Bailey book are the reasons she is one of my all-time favorite authors.”
    Sally Thorne, bestselling author of The Hating Game
  • “Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com...  Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she’s also the Michelangelo of dirty talk.”
    Entertainment Weekly
  • “Bailey crafts an entertainingly spicy tale, with humor and palpable sexual tension.”
    Publishers Weekly
  • “Tessa Bailey writes pure magic!”
    Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola
  • “When you read a book by Bailey, there are two things you can always count on: sexy, rapid-fire dialogue and scorching love scenes...”
    BookPage
  • A “singular talent for writing romantic chemistry that is both sparkling sweet and explosively sexy… one of the genre’s very best.”
    Kate Clayborn, author of Love at First
