Seven Year Itch (Mountain Men Matchmaker, 2)

"Deliciously funny and spicy." -Elsie Silver, New York Times bestselling author

Alone and Looking to Bone! Loudmouthed Mountain Man Seeks Fiery Woman to Grow Old With.
I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal...but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.

All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother's destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I'm stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.

Until I'm forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law's best friend.

Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn't losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy's problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.

Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn't sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.

What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.

Suddenly, Dakota's not just the person I love to fight with. She's the woman I want everything with.

Perfect for fans of:
  • Enemies to Lovers
  • Small Town Romance / Vacation Romances
  • Quirky Animals
  • Meddling family
  • Meghan Quinn and Tessa Bailey

“They say seven years is the point in a marriage where the steam starts to fizzle, and they can’t hold their mask up anymore. The real them is revealed…Usually someone in the relationship cheats.” Instead, Dakota Schaefer’s ex blames the failure of their marriage on her letting herself go and losing the confidence she had with her smaller body. Seven years is a long time to be with somebody who treats you like trash. Enter Calder Fletcher: “He’s standing there, in his masculine workshop with his trim beard and rumpled hair, looking so utterly mountain man perfect.” When Calder picks Dakota out of a room full of women, she feels validated. “I love how this place allows people to speak freely about what they want too. No preamble, no will they, won’t they. You lay your cards right on the table, and it’s up to you to play or not. I’m ready to play.” But an enemies-with-benefits agreement with a PowerPoint conquest checklist is not on Dakota’s bingo card for her postdivorce era. A fling with Calder Fletcher, the contractor who ruined her house and her wedding dress seven years ago, “sounds like a horrible idea that’s sure to end in catastrophe.” She called him Killer Calder for a reason. “Is this really the best place for her to rediscover herself?” Amy Daws’ Seven Year Itch is “woodsy and messy and still strangely beautiful.”
