Worth the Chase by J. Sterling

Crushing on Matthew O’Grady didn’t work out very well for me in the past. When he left Sugar Mountain for the NHL, he took my hopeful teenage heart with him. I was crushed beyond repair, and he never even knew it. But now he’s back in town, working at the resort his family owns and coming into my bar every. single. shift. He claims to want me, but a guy like Matthew doesn’t want any one woman for long.

Bella Sanchez is an absolute smoke show. I know I have a reputation of for being a playboy; the kind of guy who sleeps around with no strings attached. But that was the old me. The new me is back home in Sugar Mountain for good and looking for all the strings. The only problem is, Bella doesn’t believe me when I tell her I want her.

But I’m a stubborn man, and I won’t stop chasing her until she’s mine.
