No kissing, no dating, and no matter what, absolutely no falling in love.
These are three rules Summer Bates has vowed to honour after losing her one true love. Used as a pawn since then, both romantically and professionally, she's sworn off all men and moved to the small town of Cheshire Bay to start over. In life. In business. But definitely not in love.
Until she has a one-night stand with the gorgeous bookstore owner.
Adam Normandy is the epitome of a small-town homespun hero, all wrapped in a sexy package. Annoyingly charismatic, he pushes Summer's buttons. Including the one no one's touched in years. As much as she tries to resist, he's rousing new emotions she thought she'd never feel again. And she likes it.
However, Summer's past arrives with a vengeance, threatening to destroy her new career, her new life, and the budding romance with Adam. Can he be the hero she needs, or will she lose everything, including her happily ever after?
