Master carpenter, Martina "MJ" Jenkins, has built plenty of structures in her day, but none as sturdy as the walls she's built around her heart. After crossing paths with a sexy U.S. Senator, with gorgeous brown eyes and a seductive smile, her resolve to stay unattached crumbles. Martina is determined to steer clear, but the Senator's kisses are too delicious to resist.

Third generation U.S. Senator, Paul Kendricks, faithfully represents his state and is loyal to the family's political legacy. Still he yearns for a wife, children, and a new career far away from the political arena. Too bad the object of his desire is the one woman who wants nothing to do with commitment. But the sparks that fly between them can't be ignored.

As Paul chips away at the wall Martina has built, can he convince her to put her fears aside and open her heart to love?
