Tangled Kisses

My fiancé and I were selecting china patterns when I realized… I don’t want this life.

Not the ostentatious house, or the fancy parties full of fake friends, and definitely not my philandering excuse of a future husband.
It was the salesgirl’s subtle smirk that sealed the deal. An unspoken sentiment that she, along with countless other women, had sampled my fiancee’s wares.
So, I left. Spurred by a mix of betrayal and bravery, I accepted my free-spirited sister’s invitation to start anew in Tangled Vines, a small town on the other side of the country.
What she failed to mention was that my new digs were at the town’s brothel, a legendary escape with equally legendary escorts.
No, I’m not working as an escort. I have a far bigger problem, and his name is Griffin Topete.
He’s a gorgeous, soulful cowboy with a big heart and an even bigger reputation. He’s also the main attraction here, and completely off-limits.
And yet, we can’t stay away from each other.
One night, with the help of some liquid courage, I did the unthinkable.
I kissed him.
Just to see if he tasted as good as in my dreams.
Spoiler alert—he did. Better, even.
But he’s also going to break my heart.
