His Until Midnight. Reese Ryan

      

      To the highest bidder goes...

      A friendship with benefits?

      When Tessa Noble takes the stage at a charity auction after a sexy makeover, her best friend, Ryan Bateman, must place the winning bid. It’s definitely not because he’s jealous. Their weekend getaway is a ploy for positive press...or so the rancher tells himself. But soon things take an unexpected turn from platonic to passionate, catapulting the couple far beyond the friend zone...

      REESE RYAN writes sexy, deeply emotional romances full of family drama, surprising secrets and unexpected twists.

      Born and raised in the Midwest, Reese has deep Tennessee roots. Every summer, she endured long, hot car trips to family reunions in Memphis via a tiny clown car loaded with cousins.
