I’m a full time single dad. A former NFL player turned coach, tasked with turning around a college team full of kids who either don’t take it seriously or are determined to get injured. I will absolutely not be falling for my new neighbor.

Lark Butler is pure chaos wrapped in gorgeous, infuriating sunshine. She showed up out of nowhere––getting paid to cry at a funeral, no less. Who does that? But somewhere between offering her condolences and crawling out of a literal grave site, we’ve found ourselves tangled in the drama of Outtatowner, Michigan–my coastal hometown with a decades-old feud and two aunties determined to end it.

I’m finally putting down roots so my daughter has a normal life and I need to forget about Lark. Forget the way it felt the night we kissed or what it’s like to finally take something just for me. But when those sparks ignited, it was more intense than either of us bargained for.

Trouble is, I can’t trust her, and she never stays.

She’s burning my carefully laid plans to the ground and all it took was one look.

"I'm the boss." Those are the last three words I wanted to hear from a stranger I stood up on a second date without the courtesy of a call…

In the land of the size zero supermodel, as a plus size woman, I don’t often catch the attention of a man that makes my toes curl.

To add to the decadent encounter, the illegally hot stranger with a sexy British accent and dreamy hazel brown eyes wants to see me again.

Finally, finally, I get to break my one-time coffee date curse.

Standing up Mr. Suit on our second date is the biggest Shakespearean tragedy ever. I didn’t mean to be a no-show. It was out of my control. Losing my phone was the nail in my coffin.

A week later, arriving at my new job and coming face to face with him, counts as one of the worst days of my life… that’s until I discover he’s the boss.

Turns out, my boss doesn’t appreciate being stood up without the courtesy of a call or a text. And boy, the man holds a grudge.

Mr. Suit is determined to make me pay.

Note to self: Hell hath no fury like a boss scorned…
