8 Seconds to Scandal. Rivals with Benefits, #1

He punched a reporter on live TV. Now I have to save his career. My job is handling scandals for a living. I'm the best in the business. But Wes McLean isn't a scandal. He's a category five hurricane in a cowboy hat. After he rearranged a reporter's face on national TV, I was hired to save his career and clean up his image. Simple enough. I was supposed to be the polished professional who could tame the wild, reckless bull rider.
Except no one told me the "wild bull rider" was also a fiercely protective single dad to his nine-year-old niece. No one mentioned the devastatingly gentle way he helps her with her homework in their cramped trailer, or the heat in his eyes when he calls me "darlin'."I'm supposed to be fixing his reputation, not fantasizing about his calloused hands or falling for the little family I didn't know I was searching for.
My biggest crisis won't be his career. It'll be walking away from him with my own heart intact. Author's Note: This is a full-length standalone novel in the Rivals with Benefits Romance trilogy. It's packed with simmering tension, emotional depth, and open-door intimate scenes, all leading to a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
