Heartburn — M.C. Cerny

Whittaker Jones could have funded the Interior Department's conservation budget with his own pinup calendar.

The last thing this sexy forest ranger wanted was to go on a search and rescue mission for a stubborn college co-ed throwing a temper tantrum. He's got a hot date manning his front porch like a grumpy old man in his rocker with a carton of take-out for dinner.

Amelia Rae Faust hates the outdoors, man buns, and lying, crush stealing roommates.

A hike in the woods turned into an existential vision quest for the girl without a plan. She wasn't supposed to get lost, or have a one night stand with the surly forest ranger. His body heat is far too tempting and a night of survival becomes something more.

Book three in the Love By Design series of stand alone contemporary romantic comedies.

Heartburn is written to be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read the series in order.
