A single dad, best friends' brother, small town romance.

I haven't seen her in ten years.

She was only seventeen and my sister's best friend.

Now, she's back to renovate her old summer home that was left to her after her father's sudden passing.

Of course, my sister would recommend me for the job.

I know she used to have a crush on me, but I'm a different man now. Life has been cruel to me.

The moment she opens her door in next to nothing, the Georgia heat evident on tight body, I knew I was screwed.

I do my best to stay away, to remain the grumpy man I've vowed to be. But her sunshine keeps thawing my frozen heart.

But there's still one dark secret in my past that I've yet to face, and it just might rear its ugly head and destroy everything.
