What could go wrong when my brother's best friend becomes my roommate? I'm about to find out.

When I met Hudson Fox, I drove over his crutches. Way to go, girl. My hormones think this hotshot firefighter is all that and then some.

My hormones have a terrible track record. They are cheering for Hudson, but my brain knows better. I'm a smart woman with plans and none of them involve romance.

Until I move into my new place and Hudson is my roommate. Complete with Butter, his cat.

Hudson isn't just easy on the eyes, he's everything I didn't know I wanted, including a little grumpy with a protective streak bigger than Alaska. We both have our reasons for avoiding romance, but when he proposes a with benefits arrangement, I can't even think over the sound of my hormones screaming for joy.

When my messy past catches up to me and I discover Hudson is my brother's best friend, well, things get even messier. Hudson is keeping his own secrets. I tell myself it doesn't matter. Until my heart wants more.
