Boo Boy by Poppy Parkes

Xander:
Nobody swipes right on a guy who’s built his muscles shoveling grave dirt.
Running the cemetery in Deadwood, South Dakota, that’s been in my family for generations pays well and gives me the freedom to live life on my terms.
But I wouldn’t mind finding somebody to share that life with.
Then my brother, the golden child, graces us with his seasonal presence, and I’m surprised by how damn resentful I am of him — and how jealous. He’s got the perfect life, and I want to find my piece of perfect.
That’s why I sign up for the Find Your Boo speed dating event.
I try not to get my hopes up.
At least not until she walks into my life — red lips, legs for days, and curves that demand to be worshipped.
I’ll stop at nothing to make her mine.

Autumn:
The last place I want to be is Deadwood. I mean, come on, just look at the name.
But after my modeling career goes belly up, that’s exactly where I find myself.
I’m immediately swept up in the Find Your Boo event, like I need speed dating after everything that’s happened.
Still, I participate. Because somewhere beneath all the jadedness and wounds I earned in New York City, there’s a part of me that still longs to be loved just as I am.
There’s about a snowflake’s chance in hell that I’ll find what I’m aching for in Deadwood.
But I can’t give up hope. That’s all I’ve got left.
