When good things come in bad-boy packages.
She vows to find the right kind of guy but a tempting stranger challenges everything…
“Bad Choices” should have been Rina Tillbridge’s middle name and it’s time to turn over a new leaf. But when stuntman Scott Halsey struts onto her property for his latest film, her impulsive alter ego threatens to make a comeback. The quintessential thrill-seeking stuntman has no designs on commitment. So why are all his red flags igniting white-hot passion…and inspiring dreams of a Hollywood ending?
REVIEWS:
“Rina and Scott’s slow burn romance is emotional,
lighthearted, cute, is very entertaining and addictively different.” Shaka,
BookBub
“Fun flirty and super cute.” Joelle, Goodreads
“If you need an escape, a distraction or if you want to have a good time, pick this romance between a cafe owner/baker and a movie stuntman.” Aly, Goodreads

Daniels is determined to land the role of a lifetime. Even if she’s terrified

to make her his. Will this unlikely pair discover that the sparks between them
are anything but an act?

Chapter Three
In one efficient maneuver, Zurie parallel parked her gray Mercedes between two cars on Main Street. At seven forty-five on a Monday morning, the shops and residents in downtown Bolan were just starting to wake up. And she was beginning her first official day as Tristan and Chloe’s wedding planner.
Five days ago, after she’d offered to handle the details of the ceremony and reception at Tillbridge, Tristan had insisted he take on more of her work as a trade. And then Rina had chimed in recommending Zurie take time off to work on the wedding and hand al her duties over to Tristan.
The remembered moment made Zurie smile. She managed a horse stable and a guesthouse on a daily basis. How hard could one small wedding be? But seeing an opportunity to follow Lily’s advice, she’d jumped on Rina’s suggestion and feigned reluctance over taking time off. Then she’d bartered with them over how long she’d be out of the office. Otherwise they would have been suspicious.
She hadn’t missed a day of work in years. In the end, they’d settled on her taking three weeks off.
And they’d also decided to keep the engagement and the wedding a secret from mostly everyone until it happened. Tristan’s birthday was a couple of weeks after the weekend he and Chloe wanted to get married. They could use that as an excuse to pretend that Zurie was helping Chloe plan an early “surprise” party for Tristan, since Chloe was leaving soon after filming of the movie ended.
Philippa Gayle, the guesthouse manager and executive chef of Pasture Lane Restaurant at Til bridge, had been let in on the hush-hush ceremony. She’d agreed to cater the food for the reception and would handle most of the preparation herself.
Today’s meeting at Rina’s apartment above the café would start the ball rolling on ideas for the wedding cake Rina was going to make, as well as other ideas for the ceremony they would discuss later with Tristan and Chloe.
Zurie grabbed her black-and-blue animal-print bag from the passenger seat and got out. As she slipped the strap of the bag on her shoulder, she rounded the car and stepped onto the sidewalk.
She joined the handful of dog walkers and joggers who were out for exercise and the employees heading to the shops linked together in strip-mall fashion that weren’t open yet.
Sun glistened off water cascading down the stone fountain in the square located in the center of town. She would have cut through the space to reach the other side of the street, but workers mowed the grass around the benches and clipped pink and white flowering bushes lining the path.
A middle-aged jogger went around her without breaking his stride.
Maybe she should put running back onto her new healthy agenda.
Years ago, she used to run three to five miles every other day. It would fit right in with not skipping meals, getting more sleep and enjoying time riding her horse, Lacy Belle. She’d even started meditating over the weekend...or at least she’d tried. Who knew breathing could be so darn challenging? She did it al the time.
Lily had suggested she try a variety of things to better her health, including a hobby. She’d never real y had one of those. School, barrel racing and helping out where her parents needed her hadn’t left time for much else. By the time she’d reached her mid twenties, her focus had been finishing her master’s degree in business and spending time with her father learning how to run Tillbridge.
Before she’d turned thirty, she’d been on a steep learning curve trying to catch up on al the things he hadn’t gotten a chance to teach her. Trying to fit anything or anyone outside the stable into that equation had been impossible.
As Zurie walked past the ice cream shop near the left corner, the new manager, a dark-haired woman, gave her a quick smile before rushing into the establishment. The place had been sold, briefly closed for a few weeks and then reopened.
What was her name? She hadn’t formal y met the new manager yet. Tristan would probably be introduced to her at the mayor’s business breakfast mixer at city hall that morning. She could find out the details about the manager and status of the ice cream shop from him. Wait. Tristan had said he couldn’t make it this week. If she kept the wedding planning meeting to forty-five minutes, she could attend in his place.
A large pebble crunching underneath the sole of her low-heeled sandal drew Zurie’s gaze downward. No, she couldn’t go. Her jeans and short-sleeved peach-colored blouse were too casual for a professional gathering.
Fear of missing out started creeping in. She shoved it away. Aside from the wedding, her focus for the next few weeks was letting go of stress and taking in joy with every breath, like the beginner’s meditation audio she’d listened to that morning had instructed.
She drew in a deep inhale, rich with the scent of freshly cut grass...and coffee.
