On Ronan Thatcher’s first week in Montana, he spots the most beautiful woman in the world. Love at first sight? Nah. He doesn’t believe in love. But he wouldn’t mind a date or two with the local beauty. Ronan is the type of man who gets what he wants, and he wants Larke Hale.

Except Calamity’s sweetheart has sworn off men. The last time Ronan was rejected was, well . . . never. Yet Larke dismisses him without batting those pretty brown eyes.

Bruised ego in check, he decides to walk away. But then a teenager marches into his office asking to hire Ronan as her lawyer. Something about a bad grade and a ruined grade point average that will inevitably destroy her future. He’s about to lecture the kid for being melodramatic until he learns that the teacher she wants to sue is Larke.

Suddenly this frivolous lawsuit seems like a bright idea. Ronan wants Larke’s attention and this is guaranteed to snag it. So let the brawl begin.

Calamity Montana #5

The Brawl

Genesis (@whisperingchapters)

“What mistake are you talking about?”

“I asked you out.” I pulled out a chair for her to sit, but she stayed on her feet.

“And you’re just now realizing that was a mistake? My rejections weren’t enough?”

I grinned at the smirk on her face. God, she was fun to banter with. So much fun, I just might have to make it part of my regular routine. “The mistake was that I asked.”

Her eyes narrowed. “What do you mean?”

“I’m not asking anymore. If I want a date”—I swung my hand out to the food on the table— “I’ll take it from now on.”

She scoffed. “You might be the most stubborn and persistent man I’ve ever met in my life.”

“Aww.” I puffed up my chest. “Thank you.”

Larke rolled her eyes, but there was a ghost of a smile on her lips.
