Cowboy Nick Le Grande is thrilled when hairstylist Eva Kilpatrick outbids the competition in Apple Grove’s first-ever bachelor auction, claiming him for twelve hours of manual labor. Now’s his chance to impress her while he flexes his muscles working around her house.

Eva captured his heart months ago, but she hasn’t returned the favor. Twelve hours isn’t much time, but he’s determined to convince her he’s the one she wants. If he gets his way, he won’t be a bachelor much longer.
