Bachelor

From Wall Street Journal bestselling romance author, Winter Renshaw, comes the second installment in the popular Rixton Falls series! Derek Rosewood is never going to marry. Ever. Again. Fresh off the heels of a bitter divorce, there are only three things he gives a sh*t about: his daughter, his career, and his bachelorhood. An attorney by trade and happily married to his job, he saves the drama for the courtroom and keeps women at an arm's length. Their fragile, sequined hearts are safer that way. And besides, he's not in any condition to offer them the love and attention they so foolishly seek from him. Believe him, he's not what they need. Not after what he's been through. It's not until he's assigned as the financial conservatorship for an aloof, enigmatic heiress that he finds his professional – and personal – boundaries pushed to the wayside. They're all wrong for each other. Emotionally unavailable. Bitter. Jaded. And he's supposed to look out for her best interests. Protect her. But *this* wasn't supposed to happen. And for that reason, Derek Rosewood pleads the fifth. AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is a standalone, full-length romance with HEA. You do not need to read ROYAL first.
