    I love having so much extended family close by and I love my mail order chocolate company. But what what I don’t love is being everyone’s favorite aunt. It’s like being cock-blocked by the entire town. So when I win first prize in a contest that takes me to New York City for the weekend, I know just what I’m going to do--hook up with the first hot guy I meet who doesn’t aunt-zone me. I think I've got it all figured out, until I meet an enormous, growly professional football player, trying to seduce me and realize I'm loving every minute of it.All he wants is the chance to prove one weekend will never be enough...The world thinks I’m a player on account of my job and that’s okay because people are going to think whatever the hell they want to think. Truth is, I’m not, nor have I ever been a player—that’s not how my parents raised me. They have the forever kind of love and I want that too.I’m not a one-night-stand kind of guy but this feisty curvy beauty has already stolen my heart and makes me want to break all of my rules.

    The gift that came as a result was a surprise we didn’t see coming. Logan Ambrose, a gorgeous surgeon with a broken past. A hero, a savior, and the charming doctor that stole my heart. I gave him my v-card and he crept into my heart as quickly as he left. Seeing Logan again and finding out I'm pregnant at the same time? Insane. "Logan you're going to be a dad." How do I begin to tell him this life changing news? I mean, a drunken one-night stand shouldn't be this complicated. I definitely didn't expect what came next... That he would be the doctor that’s delivering our baby!

    

    And if I still wanted a man after I saved myself, he’d be more than willing to give that man his blessing.Now I’m in my mid-thirties and I’m still saving myself, one failed date after another.I don’t know if it’s the grease under my fingernails from working on bikes all day, or if it’s the fact I’m taller than most of them. There’s just something about me that doesn’t earn a callback. Maybe I saved myself so well I don’t need a man at all?Deciding that being single and awesome isn’t so bad, I pack up my apartment and abandon the city, looking for a tree change and a quieter life.But small towns notice when giant women move in, and it isn’t long before I’m the center of the latest gossip involving some rather outdated thinking. It’s nothing I haven’t heard before, but the sting is still the same, which is why I take my Harley out to clear my head.I didn’t realize I was heading onto someone else’s land.I also didn’t realize the rumble of my engine would frighten the grazing cattle.And I definitely didn’t realize how much bulls hate motorcycles.Lucky for me, Austin Cassidy realized all those things and came to my rescue.With his big strong arms, and a smile I’d sell my Harley to see more of, my cowboy hero is the first man I’ve ever met who makes me feel small—he’s also the only person in this town who doesn’t treat me like an outsider.It’s not long before I’m wondering if my dad had it all wrong. Maybe being saved by a man—or a very attractive cowboy—isn’t so bad, after all.
