Falling for my brother's best friend is the last thing I expect to do when I return home to Magnolia Grove, heartbroken and ringless.

But catching my fiancée banging his Harvard grad intern made me rethink my life choices, like ditching my education to play house. No more pretending, and no strings. All I need now is some careless fun while I rebuild my life, one odd job at a time.

Single, southern, flirt, Matty Lincoln is the perfect distraction. The professional football player had big dreams, and no back up plan.

After a career ending injury lands him back in our hometown, I find myself falling fast and hard for my old crush.

Now he's simultaneously fixing up my house, and my heart, making me feel things I wish I didn't.

And our little rendezvous? Yeah, it's about to make big waves in our small town.

Contains mature themes.
