All Joking Aside

My reputation hangs on by a thread and only one man can help me before it's too late. And we can't stand each other.

As long as I've lived in Slippery Slopes, I've done my best to be a model citizen in this quirky small town. After a little misunderstanding grows wildly out of control, I need to act quickly to preserve my perfect image.

And unfortunately for me, there's only one man for the job.

Despite my attempts to stay away from Miles Asher's distracting allure, I hate to admit he does have a way of getting me out of my head. It should be simple; he needs my help to finish his job so he can leave as soon as possible and in exchange he coaches me into the person I hope to be. We can absolutely ignore this undeniable attraction between us.

As we work together, those pesky feelings I'm desperate to tamp down reveal more than I'm ready to admit, especially when keeping our hands to ourselves feels impossible. He gets under my skin and forces me to face uncomfortable truths about myself and this town I love. But he has no plans to stick around to see things through.

I'm desperate to be perfect but Miles has a way of making me want to be bad...
