Fool's Profit (Bear Creek Series, #3) / Bear Creek Series (ePub)

Reggie Thornton along with her younger brothers, Blake and Kirby, own a ranch in Bear Creek. In order to pay for the expansion of their herd, they have started a hunting guide service. Most of these clients/hunters want to hunt bear or mountain lion.

Chip Green moved to Bear Greek twenty years ago when his father was transferred to the ranger station there. Chip left the valley to go to the police academy and returned to Bear Creek as their deputy five years ago. Chip has always liked Reggie so much that she basically ruined him for other women. But he's afraid to get close to her since she'd probably punch him if he tried.

Reggie is feeling lonely in her big home built for five people now that both of her younger brothers are married and living in their own homes next to hers on the ranch. Reggie wants a family too! But, who would want to marry her, a six foot, thirty-year-old tomboy? Reggie has always liked Chip so much that he basically ruined her for other men. But the fool just can't see that she likes him.

When Chip is suddenly given custody of the nine-year-old daughter he didn't even know he had, things really get complicated. His efficiency apartment won't work so Reggie takes them both in at her four-bedroom house. Then Reggie starts helping Chip and Megan come together.

A Hollywood production company comes to make a movie at the Thornton ranch and at the old ghost town in the mountains above Bear Creek. Someone doesn't want the movie people there and things start happening to drive them away, including bar fights, fires and even murder.

Chip has to win Megan over and learn how to be a father to her, while living in the same house with Reggie. Sparks will fly all the way around when these three very different people are thrown together.

Will Chip and Reggie be able to resolve the problems facing the movie production company and the Thorntons and still keep everyone safe in the process? Will there be any hope for Reggie and Chip to build a relationship?
