I have my fresh start in a new town, this time a widow with a preteen daughter who rolls her eyes enough to make them stay that way. Too bad my past mistake is also here to greet me.
Daxon Hellman. Town a-hole. Hot young contractor hired to build my house in the woods.
It's only when I'm face-to-face with him for the first time that I realize he's the mystery man from two years ago. It's a long story of too many drinks, grief that made me resort to acting out, and an encounter in the dirty bathroom of a bar. Try as I might, I can't forget that night.
Daxon growls at me . . . I irritate him with my constant social media posting. He orders me to do things . . . I trample all over his ridiculous commands with a smile and a choice finger in the air. We fit together like rain and exposed drywall.
Daxon and I reach a truce: to let our bodies do the talking and keep our hearts locked down. I'm older than him, which means I'm smart enough to keep a clear head. Until I realize when it comes to love, age and common sense do not go hand in hand.
This crazy town has more surprises up its sleeve to drive us apart, which makes me think this might not be our forever home after all . . .
