I did my time serving my country in the Marines. I’ve seen enough of the world and all the good and bad in it. I’ve earned my solitude and time on my bike riding long winding roads. Roads I haven’t been able to explore because my little sister broke her arm and now needs my help selling her goods at a two-week holiday craft fair.

I was trying to be a good brother, that was it. I wasn’t supposed to lay my eyes on a curvy redhead with bouncy curls that makes my hand itch to touch and my heart come alive. I didn’t believe in love, much less falling way too deep at first sight. But that’s what happened when my eyes locked on Piper Purcell. The little crocheting princess brings out the softer side in me. One I am not used to.

No matter how much I try to avoid her, our paths keep crossing. Now we’re stranded. She thinks I can’t stand her, and I don’t know how I’ll live without her. How can I convince the pretty little firecracker that getting stranded with this old biker isn’t a bad thing?
