In this Bolton Brothers novel, Sarah M. Anderson shows how one single mom at a bachelor auction can bring home the wildest ride of her life!
Jenny Wawasuck knows that “Wild” Billy Bolton is all wrong for a good girl like her. But then she sees the bond Billy forms with her son—and feels how Billy’s touch burns her skin, how his kiss ignites desires she’s long ignored. So she brings him home from the charity bachelor auction.
Now Billy has one night to stake his claim. But in a world filled with blackmailers and gold diggers, can a millionaire bad boy and a sweet single mom turn one chance into forever?
This was the reason why he didn’t want women in the shop. Too distracting.
When Billy managed to step away from Jenny, he saw that she’d tucked her lower lip under her teeth with enough pressure that the flesh was bleaching white. What had been, up to that moment, a mere irritating attraction shifted right over to desire.
He wanted the pretty little schoolteacher in a way that had nothing to do with civility. He wanted to kiss the color back into her lip, to find out how hard she was capable of biting.
Then she looked up at him through thick lashes, and he saw his own desire mirrored in her eyes. She wasn’t scared of him, nor was she mad at him.
As difficult as it was to believe, she wanted him, too.
Dear Reader,
Welcome back to Crazy Horse Choppers, the family business run by The Bolton Brothers: Billy (the creative one), Ben (the numbers guy) and Bobby (the salesman). They live fast, ride hard and love fiercely.
Billy Bolton doesn’t like his life very much right now. After a wild youth that included jail time, he’d settled down into the life of a workaholic—he eats, breathes and lives building bikes. His dedication has paid off—the family company is becoming the name in custom-built motorcycles.
But success came with a price—in this case, his little brother Bobby filming him for “webisodes.” Now Billy is semifamous, which is a real pain. Worse, his brother Ben arranged for him to build a bike for his wife, Josey’s, school and Bobby’s going to film him the whole time.
Billy knows he really shouldn’t be around students—he’s grumpy, he cusses, he’s got too many tattoos, he occasionally throws things. And kids make him nervous. But then he meets Jenny Wawasuck, a teacher at the school—and a single mother to a teenager. Something about the petite woman grabs hold of Billy’s attention and refuses to let go.
Billy knows he’s not the kind of man any sane woman would be interested in. But Jenny’s not afraid of him, and he finds himself doing something he never thought he’d do—chasing a woman.
Bringing Home the Bachelor is a sensual story about becoming the person you were always meant to be. It’s also my twist on cowboys and Indians—bikers and Indians! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Be sure to stop by www.sarahmanderson.com and join me for the latest on The Bolton Brothers!

When she started writing, it wasn’t long before her characters found themselves out in South Dakota among the Lakota Sioux. She loves to put people from two different worlds into new situations and to see how their backgrounds and cultures take them someplace they never thought they’d go.

When not helping out at her son’s school or walking her rescue dogs, Sarah spends her days having conversations with imaginary cowboys and American Indians, all of which is surprisingly well-tolerated by her wonderful husband.

In the middle of the argument—the same argument Jenny had with her teenage son every morning—she found herself lost in a daydream. Just once, she wanted someone to take care of her. Just once, she wanted to feel pampered. Just once, she thought with a sigh, she wanted to know what it was like to have the world at her feet, instead of having everyone walk all over her.
“Why can’t I go with Tige after school?” her son, Seth, whined from the passenger seat. Not that a fourteen-year-old boy would cop to whining. “He got a new motorcycle, said I could ride it. Better than wasting time waiting on you to get done with your stupid meeting.”
“No motorcycles,” Jenny said in the tone she used for attempting to reason with her first and second graders when her patience was thin. Hopefully, she and Seth would make it to school before she lost her temper. Only a few miles to go. She drove faster.
“Why not? Josey rides hers all over the place, and you know she wouldn’t do
