A sexy cinnamon-roll lumberjack offers me a ride into town, a stay at his cozy cabin, and eventually his bed. All things I can't refuse. After several flirty glances and heated mistletoe kisses, we create rules: no strings attached and no falling in love. Agreeing to the impossible might be my biggest mistake yet. I visited the small town for one reason only: to prove a point to my father. Now I've got a fake boyfriend.

Traverse the life and times of one Thomas A. Cook. You will be truly rewarded and, at times, amazed at his tomfoolery, shenanigans, and entrepreneurial endeavors. Experience his life's triumphs, failures, and struggles in overcoming addiction. Hear the wisdom delivered from the green leather chair that created an invisible wall at the cliff edge of disaster and was instrumental in shifting his life direction.
