I’m a single mom trying to keep my head above water. He’s the one night stand I was never supposed to see again.

As a divorced parent of two teenagers and the manager of a bed and breakfast about to undergo a major renovation, I don’t have time for a relationship.

But when a charming, younger guy approaches me during a night out, I give in to the desire to relieve some stress and invite him home. After he agrees to this being a one time thing, he makes me see stars, and then I send him packing. The end.

Until he walks into my B&B as the project manager for the renovation.

And now I have no escape from his constant grin and annoying optimism. That capable, work-of-art body and those jeans he wears to perfection make it impossible to forget our incredible night together.

So I’m faced with an impossible choice: maintain my boundaries around work and my family, or give in to the way he makes me feel when no one’s looking. And that wink he gives me across the room? Let’s just say my walls aren’t the only thing in danger of coming down.
