She paid six hundred dollars for one date with him. He would have gone for free.

Courtney Hartwell has been hiding her crush on her boss for over a year—until Peachwood Grove's legendary matchmaker puts Nate Brockington on the Valentine's bachelor auction block. Watching other women bid on the man she secretly wants is torture. When another woman starts throwing around serious money, quiet Courtney does something completely out of character: she bids six hundred dollars to win him.

Nate's been keeping things professional with his beautiful project coordinator, fighting every urge to cross the line he knows he shouldn't. Standing on that auction stage, dreading a night with the wrong woman, he never expects Courtney to raise her paddle. When she wins him? The surge of relief tells him everything he needs to know.

One charity date becomes a Valentine's weekend of trying not to combust from wanting each other. Behind Courtney's shy exterior, Nate discovers a woman who knows exactly what she wants—him.

And their "professional" boundaries? They're crumbling fast. The problem is, when Valentine's Day ends, they still have to face each other at work.

• Boss/employee tension that combusts
