I left for a weekend in Las Vegas and came back with a husband.

Gideon James isn’t just any husband. He’s the wealthy CEO of a Vegas casino and hotel, he’s devastating in a suit—and he’s Bourbon Canyon, Montana’s very own prodigal son. Now he’s returning to claim the land my brothers are in the middle of purchasing from his father. With me at his side, Gideon will finally be able to stop the sale.

Why else would someone like him marry me? I may just be a small town schoolteacher one step away from cat lady status, but I’m not clueless. I know exactly why Gideon chased me into that all-night chapel. If he wants my help to sell this union and get his land, he’s going to have to give me something in return.

A baby.

Then we’ll go our separate ways.

Only the longer we’re under the same roof, the harder it is to remember our relationship is fake. The easier it is to forget there’s an end date on this contract. The plainer it is to see this marriage could be more than bourbon promises.

Autumn and Gideon’s story is EVERYTHING I wanted this summer! After Gideon’s interaction with the Baileys, I was curious how this would play out when Autumn brought him home with a ring on her finger.

From the get-go, I loved Autumn. I think she’s very secure in who she is and holds true to it. Of course, she has her feelings hurt about how people (supposed friends/coworkers and club bouncers) view her, but she’s still going to hold that line. In saying this, I knew she’d be the perfect match for Gideon! In her own way, she helps him find that confidence in himself without being overly pushy or judgmental.

Gideon had a rough past and clings to the anger associated with it. But with Autumn at his side, it doesn’t take long for that facade to crumble. Watching him rediscover his father was one of the most beautiful aspects of the book. And of course, I love how he reaches back to his cowboy roots.

Autumn is clearly loved by her family, but they seem to step on her, despite the assurance she has in who she is and what she wants to do. It was her moment to shine when she stands up to them and makes her feelings known. Her students love her (former and current) and her selfless giving of her time and effort don’t go unrecognized. Gideon feeds off this as from the way his mother was described, Autumn is a lot like her. Together, these two are a powerhouse of love, breaking generational curses, and SPICE!

About Walker Rose

I live the dream in my own slice of paradise where I get to enjoy colorful sunsets from my rocking chair while I’m working. I have my very own romance hero with Mr. Rose and there’s more than a few little rose buds running around. A couple aren’t so little anymore! We keep things interesting with cats and a dog and the critters that roam through the yard (fingers crossed the mountain lions stay away).
