Say the Words

She's going to help this grumpy rancher whether he likes it or not.

After her job plans fell apart, June Evans returns to her hometown determined to rock her role as Maid of Honor. She'll do anything to make her cousin's dream wedding a reality, even if that means playing nice with the grumpy Best Man. Ty Hardy is big, rugged, gorgeous-and her cheating ex's older brother.

When June's attempt to make peace leaves Ty with broken ribs, she volunteers to help him out around his ranch until the wedding. Never mind that he can't admit he needs her help, and she hasn't been around horses in years. Their tentative friendship threatens to turn into something deeper, but June refuses to fall for another man who isn't all in.

Ty tried his best to stay away from June while she dated his brother, but now he can't turn around without stumbling over her. He isn't used to relying on anyone, but her persistent presence in his life is hard to resist. As they work together, the attraction he once pushed aside as off limits comes roaring back to life. Her time on his ranch may be temporary, but he could give her a reason to stay, if only he could say the words.

Say the Words is a grumpy-sunshine closed door romance without implied intimacy.
