Wild child bartender Wyatt Hart has a full plate. Her younger sister came home from college pregnant, and her mother just showed up fresh from prison.

So when a rare free evening at a roadside bar turns into a chance encounter with Owen McBride, local pediatrician and town golden boy, Wyatt knows better than to flirt with him. Or kiss him. Or follow the surprisingly filthy-mouthed good boy out to his truck. Wyatt doesn't do relationships, after all, and Owen is the floor model of a boyfriend guy.

But when that one night quickly turns into flirty banter and fiery stolen moments, Owen promises Wyatt that he doesn't need a relationship. He just needs her.

Everyone in town can tell that the bartender and the pediatrician are more than a fling, but that doesn't stop Wyatt and Owen from lying to themselves . . . and each other. But Wyatt's fear of relationships is about to catch up with her, and the town golden boy is harboring a secret that might undo him.

Contains mature themes.
