    Two exes, one house. What could go wrong? 
     
     
     
    Olivia had a plan: MBA, Wall Street VP by thirty-two, marriage and two children (preferably twins because #efficiency). Not in her plan? Losing half her belongings in an apartment flood and being forced to turn to her ex for help. 
     
     
     
    Definitely not in her plan? Moving into said ex's house and watching him walk around shirtless, bake her cupcakes, and look at her with those smoldering—Wait, what was she talking about again? 
     
     
     
    Between his bakery and meddling family, Sammy had enough on his plate without bringing the ex he'd never been able to forget into the mix. 
     
      
     
    But when Olivia asks for his help, he couldn't say no. He could, however, make her regret breaking his heart—as long as he doesn't do anything foolish, like sneak into her room and kiss her senseless . . . 
     
     
     
    As passion slowly replaces their dislike for each other, Sammy and Olivia discover their past isn't what it seems and their future is anything but certain. Can they overcome their pride and give love a second chance, or is history doomed to repeat itself?

    Romance has always been a genre filled with deep emotions, grand gestures, and heartwarming endings. But what happens when you mix it with humour, sarcasm, and a few scandalous encounters? You get a story that doesn’t just make your heart flutter—it makes you laugh, blush, and root for two people who are so wrong for each other that they might just be perfect together. 
    This book is for every reader who believes love isn’t just candlelit dinners and whispered sweet nothings. Love is accidentally sending an embarrassing drunk text. Love is tripping on your own shoelaces while trying to look sexy. Love is messy, awkward, infuriating, but ultimately, unforgettable. 
    I hope you enjoy this rollercoaster ride of laughter, love, and undeniable chemistry as much as I enjoyed writing it.

    Allie Whitewater was used to living between two worlds. She embraced the Native American heritage of her father and the white heritage of her mother. She was happy with both and didn't have the identity crisis many of her friends had. Growing up on a large working ranch in Montana, she had no desire to live in town, or worse, a large city. She planned on spending the rest of her life on the ranch her father started.Jacob Tucker enjoys building up the ranch he and his twin brother, Jonathan, had settled. Sure, there are dangers - rustlers, the harsh environment, Indians - but he wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. He is happy with life in the Montana territory and never once thinks there could be something, or someone, out there that could make him change his mind. But change it does when he leaves his ranch in 1867 and travels to 2013. The world has changed a lot, and so have the women - namely one called Allie Whitewater. She has the mouth of a cowpuncher, the body of an angel, and the temper of the devil. Now all he has to do is get her back to his time and hold her so tight she won't miss her fancy metal wagons and flying carriages.Jacob thinks his plan is foolproof. He just needs to kidnap Allie long enough to make her never want to return to her world. But things change as tension between the redskins and the white settlers and the army escalate. When the two cultures clash, it is up to Allie to show she is capable of walking in both worlds. She will prove to the whites that she is a force to be reckoned with, and she will prove to her ancestors that she is a spirit warrior who will fight to the death to protect her hasánni, her mate.
