Country-girl Chessie Gibson’s always been a giver. Billionaire Theo Courant’s always been a player. Since childhood, the two have irritated the heck out of each other. Only when Theo breaks both wrists and ankles in a snowboarding accident, Chessie’s asked to care for her family friend. Being stuck with egotistical Theo in her Meadowview farmhouse is most definitely not Chessie's idea of fun.
Theo sees Chessie as part pin-up girl, part hippie-chick—nothing like the models and social climbers he’s used to dating. She’s gorgeous and luscious, but he’s never made a move on his best friend’s younger sister. The two of them are opposite in almost every way imaginable. But wow—is she ever hot!
When Theo and Chessie end up stuck together for weeks, they come to know each other in ways neither thought possible. Seeing a different side of Theo—he’s not exactly the frivolous playboy he seems—Chessie finds herself unable to resist the temptation to try a “friends with benefits” situation.
Even as the heat builds, their differences continue to come between them…and if Theo doesn’t learn love is something that cannot be bought, the chance of a lifetime could pass them both by.

Hometown romance with heart.
Rochelle French grew up on a farm in the rural northern California foothills out in the middle of nowhere in a one-room shed with no TV, no phone, and no hot water (and no bathroom, but that’s a story for another time). She spent her free time immersed in fiction, finding friends in characters who came alive on the pages.
After realizing she, too, could create an imaginary world with which readers could connect, she started writing and never looked back. She hopes to inspire and uplift her readers as they follow the characters she’s created—people who find their own strength along the path to true love, always supported by friends, family, and community.
Now that her twins are adults, Rochelle spends her time writing contemporary romance novels (AKA, kissing books). When she’s not in front of her computer, she’s out hiking in the woods, swimming in the river, or hanging out in her own quirky town. She can still milk a goat, grow food, and wield an ax and a hammer with great effect, and her friends have voted her “Person most desirable to have as a bestie during an apocalypse.”
