I met him at a wedding and his Southern charm quickly swept me off my feet-and into his bed.
The following morning, I bailed before he woke up and never planned to see him again. As a single mom of two, my priorities are my kids, work, and school. Dating isn't even on my radar.
But when a man comes after my son and follows us home, we're forced into hiding.
Staying at the house of my one-night stand I ghosted over a year ago is the last thing I expect when the door opens, so I do the only rational thing I can think of and pretend I don't remember him.
And I definitely don't anticipate him taking care of me when I get sick, watching my kids, or cooking for us-but he does without hesitation.
It's impossible not to fall for him, especially when he helps me confront my past.
I'm not the only one at risk for getting attached to him, his family, or small mountain town. My kids adore him and want us to stay, but my life is complicated enough as it is-and it'd never work out.
Perfect for fans of:
✔️ Forced proximity
✔️ Protective heroes
✔️ Caretaking & Acts of Service
✔️ Lots of banter & angst
✔️ Spicy open-door romances
✔️ All the yearning, tension, & HEA you crave
