When Sunshine Patterson loses her Chicago home, job and boyfriend in one day, she needs a backup plan, fast. Luckily her Aunt Cecily has provided her with the perfect combination living and restaurant space to start over. Even though the building is located in small town Chance Creek, Montana, Sunshine is certain it’s only a matter of time before she’s back to take the big city by storm. When she … she arrives in Chance Creek, however, she gets a surprise. Her restaurant space—and apartment—are occupied by a rival to her inheritance: the incredibly sexy, incredibly wrong for her, Cole Linden.
Cole’s been struggling to save his family’s holdings for far too long. The indoor rifle range he inherited from his father barely pays its rent, but it’s all that’s keeping his other concerns—two apartment houses—afloat. If he was smart, he’d walk away from all of it and start over, but if he does, several dozen of Chance Creek’s inhabitants will find themselves without a home. He thought Cecily meant to leave him the range building in her will. Instead she’s set him up in a four-month-long competition with her big-city niece to see who will win the place. A niece whose knockout looks are making it damn hard for him to concentrate on the job at hand.
Sunshine can’t believe she’ll have to open a vegan restaurant in a rifle-range waiting room, and she can’t believe she’ll have to share her apartment with Cole, either. Cole can’t believe his friends are falling over themselves to help Sunshine succeed—and get a date with her.
Now the competition is getting hot, but the sparks flying between them are even hotter. Can Cole and Sunshine find a way they both can win?

I really enjoyed Cole Linden and Sunshine Patterson’s story. Cole runs a rifle range that used to belong to his father. Sunshine is suffering a recent heartbreak and large loss of money due to her ex. When she visits the property left to her by her Aunt Cecily , she finds it’s not as she initially thought. Sweet, short romance about finding love in unexpected places.
Bad title, made me think it would be historical fiction but it is not. Modern day plotting of older relative to get two lost younger people together.
A light-hearted yet steamy romance between two opposites with a clever storyline and humorous set of characters.
Can be read as a standalone but for me, I’m off to the next in the series!
it’s OK!
a very short story, funny and entertaining.
this story is the start of the series, Sunshine and Cole, both inherited a building, where Cole have a rifle range and Sunshine dreams open a café… the challenge is won the building for itself!
has it a short story, the pace and all the action are very quickly… 🙂
somehow we have a little bit of a doubt has they manage to fall in love in a matter of a few weeks….but when you find your better half it doesn’t matter the time frame, a second is enough!!!
I loved this book. I started it and I didn’t put it down until I had read the whole book. I lost myself in this book. I was laughing at the crazy stuff these two got into it was so much fun. Everything about it made me forget my own problems and just enjoy the day with this book. Thank you for some of the best days I have had in years. I really enjoy all of your Chance Creek books.
