She's always been the girl he had to protect. Now she's the woman he can't resist...

When Navy firefighter Nick Palotay returns to Marietta to go on the bachelor auction block for a good cause, he expects it to be risk free. But when he needs someone safe to bid on him and his sister's best friend is coaxed into stepping up, Nick isn't prepared for the effect Cassidy has on him. She sends his mind to all kinds of dirty places... places his battered heart can't afford.

Cassidy Ware is in waaay over her head. She's always been Nick's other little sister, but she's all grown up now and just a glance from him leaves her hot and bothered. Still, she can stay immune to his charms and keep him at an emotional distance because she's got an agenda, too. She'll help the too-handsome Nick with his charitable deed, and, in return, he'll help her keep an unwelcome suitor at bay.

A deal's a deal, but when their "business transaction" turns into more pleasure than duty, can they walk away from each other without losing what matters most?

Perfect for fans of Catherine Bybee's Not Quite Series and Lucy Score's small-town slow-burns! A heartwarming, flirty, slow-burn romance about second chances, unspoken desires, and finding love where you least expect it.
