Rescue by Sean Ashcroft

“No one’s ever pretended to date me before.”
Twenty-seven-year-old virgin Nolan has always struggled to get a date–until his cousin tries to embarrass him by buying one at auction. Wildlife sanctuary veterinarian Finn is gorgeous and kind, exactly the sort of man Nolan’s always wanted. But he’d never be interested, right?

Finn hasn’t been on a date in two years, and it takes getting auctioned off for the sanctuary to convince him to do it. But the guy he ends up with is cute, exactly his type, and turns out to be a kindred spirit. When he risks his own neck to save an injured animal, Finn knows he’s found someone worth keeping. If not for his bully of a cousin looming over everything he does, Nolan could be the man of Finn’s dreams.
But will Nolan find the strength to break free of his cousin’s grip? Or is a safe and easy life better than pursuing his dreams?
