Craving the Lumberjack

Esme
Who needs a boyfriend when I’ve got all these plants and flowers to talk to? They might not answer, but they look pretty—they’re almost as good as a boyfriend.
When I moved to Temptation Ridge almost a year ago, I sunk my whole life savings into opening a flower shop. After partnering with the local bakery, dress shop, and mail-order bride company, the business has grown. The last thing I need is a distraction. But that doesn’t stop me from craving Dawson, the sexy lumberjack.
A girl can look, right?

Dawson
My life in the mountains, running our family logging company, has always been enough for me until I saw Esme, the curvy new owner of the flower shop. Now the mountains seem lonely, and I crave her company whenever I can get it.
Filling out a dating profile to help a friend out was something I’d long forgotten until I was matched with someone—only it wasn’t Esme. The near miss is the wake-up call I need to claim the only woman who has stirred this feeling in me.
Now if she’ll only say yes.
