Crawling back home with my tail between my legs was not the way I saw my life going.

I had it all.

A fantastic job. A fiancรฉe who adored me, and a life any man would dream of.

That’s about the time it all fell apart.

But Montana has a way of healing all wounds, from the beautiful sunrises to the fresh mountain air.

Sure, my father still hated me for leaving. My mother still defended him at every turn.

And the gossip…

It was enough to drive me insane.

And then I sat next to her at The Beaver and Boot.

Gorgeous, curvy, full of life, and so easy to talk to.

She was perfect.

Until I realized she was the same girl I tormented as a kid.

Yep, I was that boy who didn’t know how to tell a girl he liked her, so he picked on her. And boy, did she let me know how much she hated me.

Every Tuesday and Thursday night.

But the one thing she couldn’t ignore was the undeniable chemistry when my body was pressed against hers.It was only supposed to be a friends with benefits situation, but she wormed her way into my head, and made it impossible to ignore my own Foolish Pride.










I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Alpha Male
Release Date: May 12, 2026


BLURB

Holly Lorena Cain, formerly known as Georgina Lorena Cain, was well acquainted with rock bottom. She’s coasted along its rocky shores for years. It all started when her mother left her when she was barely old enough to understand. For years, her and her dad struggled to make ends meet. A dying cattle farm can’t run itself, and with her dad having cancer, it got harder and harder to hang on to land that’s been in her family for generations.

Just as she thinks that she’s finally made it, her father passes away and leaves every single thing he owns to their neighbor. The man that’d been worming his way into her father’s good graces while she’d been away pursuing higher education.

But she can’t be mad.

Being mad would mean that she has a soul left, but she sold that a long time ago to pay for college.

Once she comes to terms with her father and the land being gone, she moves back to Bear Pass and with one thing on her mind—avoid Denver at all costs. He can never know just how much it hurt that he stole her life away from her.

Only, he makes it impossibly hard to stay away.

He’s there around every corner. He offers her a place to stay. Makes sure she has a place to work. Fixes her car. Saves her from a kidnapper. Oh, and gives her everything her heart desires.

She stays away as best as she can, but she doesn’t stand a chance against Denver’s determination and charm. He’s there when no one else is, peeling her off the floor and propping her back up again each time she falls.

The gruff motorcycle club president with his scary glares and harsh work ethic has decided to make her his, and he won’t stand for her refusal.

He’s been protecting her for her entire life, and she doesn’t even know it.

He won’t stop now, even if she’s bound and determined to stay away.

This is a captivating addition to the Don’t Date Him series, showcasing her talent for delivering emotionally intense stories. The story follows Holly, a woman who faces heartbreak and loss after her father's passing, only to discover that the family farm has been left to Denver, a grumpy biker and neighbor.

Despite initial anger, Holly and Denver's connection deepens as they navigate grief, tension, and undeniable attraction. This plot is filled with twists and palpable chemistry, creating a compelling age-gap romance that keeps readers engaged.

The characters, particularly Denver's children, are endearing and captivating. They evoke a range of emotions, from laughter to heartbreak, making them truly special.

With elements of suspense, steamy scenes, and a hard-won happily ever after, Forget That Guy is a must-read for fans of heartfelt romance.
