Hopeless by Silver (Chestnut Springs #5)

From beloved TikTok author Elsie Silver comes a contemporary cowboy romance, the fifth in her TikTok smash-hit Chestnut Springs series.

He doesn’t believe that anyone holds her last name against her…so he offers her his.

Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome military hero with a tortured past. 

I’m the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks. 

He’s thirty-five and all man, and I’m twenty-two and all...virgin. 

He’s also my fiancé. Correction: my fake fiancé.

We start out as a bet, a point for him to prove. It’s win-win. He gets a break from his concerned family’s prying, and I get a chance to shed my family’s reputation while I save up to ditch this small town.

He says all I have to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend I can’t keep my hands off of him in public.

But it’s what happens between us in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines. 

It’s what transpires behind closed doors that doesn’t feel like pretending at all.
