Seducing the Bachelor is about old wounds, obligations, and forgiveness in order to gain the capacity to love.
Single mom and veterinary student Talon Reese was helping out as a waitress at the Marietta, MT's 2nd Annual Bachelor auction for charity, when she was surprised by her friends pooling their money and won the bid for bachelor #3, and it's all for her. His looks did set her on fire, but she's too busy working, studying, and being a mom. She wasn't looking for a relationship with the bachelor... Colt Ewing. Colt Ewing is a ranger sniper. He left the town years ago and was only on leave for couple weeks. He wasn't looking for a relationship either, and his relationship with this town was... complicated, and finding Talon living in his uncle's old house (where he had some very bad memories), and driving "his" truck was almost more than he can take, but Talon's propositions gave him pause... As did his uncle's will... Will he have some reasons to stay in Marietta now... and perhaps, even learn to love... or will he re-enlist and never look back?
Normally the bachelor auction was presented with a bit of comedy, so the mix with old wounds and abusive parents / leaving town / coming back was rather unusual and definitely a trope flip. The push-pull from there then proceed as expected, and overall it's an okay story.
