Keeping their hands off each other was never part of the plan... but neither was falling this hard.
Rescuing Mia Hansen from the middle of a field during a storm is my job. I'm a conservation officer, not a hero. And definitely not a guy who gets caught up in trouble. At least not anymore. I have a past, but I'm a rule-follower now. And I especially don't need the kind of trouble that comes with a sweet smile, killer curves, and a library card.
But Mia is definitely going to be a problem for me. The irresistible, late-night-fantasy kind.
Because she's also the daughter of the only man in this town I don't like and can't trust. Getting involved with her would be a mistake. A reckless, hot, completely unforgettable mistake.
She keeps finding reasons for us to bump into each other. And I keep letting it happen. Call me what you want-but when she's grinning like she knows exactly how to unravel me, I'm not walking away.
Now we're sneaking around like we're starring in her dirty fanfic-which, of course, I read. Multiple times.
We said this would be short-term. Just fun. No strings. But Mia's wiggled her way past my defenses, and I'm starting to think the biggest danger isn't her dad finding out...
It's falling for the one woman I should have stayed away from.
No complications.
Perfect.
Until I walk into my parents' kitchen on Thanksgiving and discover that stranger is actually my brother's best friend...
and my brand-new boss.
Now we're stuck in the same small town, working together, and pretending that night meant nothing.
At least I am. Or, I'm trying to anyway.
Everett says that's impossible.
He says what we had wasn't just a fling.
He says we can't ignore the chemistry that nearly burned down the hotel.
I say sleeping with my boss is a terrible idea.
But Everett is determined to prove our one-night stand should have been the beginning.
And the more time we spend together, the more I think...he might be right.
