Five minutes in his small town and I knew he was going to be nothing but trouble. He's an arrogant, tattooed playboy with a secret, and I'm the woman tasked with quietly cleaning up his family's mess.

I never dreamed he could be the mysterious stranger behind my hidden, late-night messages.

It doesn't matter what he says or how hard he tries to get under my skin. I won't break. Not for him. Not for anyone. But when our secrets are exposed, all bets are off.

He knows the rules-just a little fun exploration. Nothing more. But one lesson leads to another . . . and another . . . and soon I realize that he's set out to break every rule I've ever put into place.

I refuse to find myself melting under his gaze or swooning at the way he makes the noise around us quieter.

I can handle men like him.

Everything will be fine as long as we can keep this just between us.
