Falling for the Bachelor
Tessa Hamilton never imagined the hardest part of having her best friend help renovate her small-town movie theater would be keeping her heart safe. She can’t fall for a man who has no interest in a serious relationship with any woman…and who doesn’t know the secret she hides. Besides, Josh Donnelly is too eager to leave Paradox Lake—especially when his estranged father returns. Tessa struggles with the turmoil, but as she falls deeper for the bachelor, she knows she must be honest if there’s any chance for them. But will telling Josh put everything at risk—including their friendship?
“What man doesn’t want a beautiful woman?”
Tessa scoffed, tempted to pick up her paper plate and chuck it at him. “I’d rather not join the long list of Josh Donnelly’s former girlfriends. I prefer being on the more exclusive ‘just friends’ list.”
“You’re at the top of that one. But what’s wrong with wanting to be alone with you? After all, it’s Monday.” They spent every Monday reviewing movie clips in her theater.
She readied the video and sat beside him in the dark theater. Each time she found herself leaning into him, she sat up straight. What was wrong with her?
She attributed the uptick in her heart rate to the heartwarming rom-com preview they’d just watched. After all, this was her best friend, love-’em-and-leave-’em Josh. No one she could ever take seriously.
But even in the darkness, she could see the corner of his mouth turn up in what she called his “killer smile.” The smile she’d been immune to.
Till now.
