Beauty and the Bachelor by Shirley Jump

It's winner takes all as two rivals square off to win a new RV. But as the contest heats up, so does their attraction and it's not long before love is on the line in book two of Shirley Jump's Mercy, Indiana series.

Claire Richards will stop at nothing to get to California and give her dad his dying wish, including compete against her sworn enemy to win the perfect getaway vehicle-an RV. Maybe competing for the same RV wouldn't be so bad, except the contest pits twenty strangers against each other inside the vehicle...and the last person standing wins.

Mark is desperate to save his brother's business and help him get on track again. His plan is to win the RV, then sell it for quick cash before his brother loses everything. Mark is prepared to use every tool in his arsenal to get what he wants-charm, logic, stubbornness. But before long he realizes he has a weak spot: Claire. Suddenly winning doesn't seem like everything.

If Claire loses, she also loses her chance to make amends with her father. Mark loses, his brother pays the price. Someone has to win-but will winning cost them their forever together?
