Eddie Neff needs space. Not the type that country stars croon about, but physical distance from her emotionally distant father and the tatters of a broken relationship. So when the opportunity to relocate her life and interior design business arises, the answer comes easily.
Adjusting to life with Claire, her gregarious new roommate, is more than simply testing comfort limits. With just one meeting, Eddie finds herself unable to resist the draw of Harris Grant, Claire’s brooding and overprotective older brother.
Harris doesn’t fit her idea of a safe relationship. He pushes Eddie to face her deepest insecurities and fears of abandonment. And Harris holds on to his own painful loss, unable to overcome personal demons.
Eddie and Harris must learn to conquer their internal struggles. But as they navigate their new love, outside forces fight to drive them apart.

That evening, I’m back in the apartment,
running late. I’m rifling through my messy tote bag in the middle of the foyer,
searching for my keys, when the door is yanked open and two tall, toned blonds
in professional attire stand on the other side. Claire’s legs are shoulder
width apart, like she is ready to strut down a runway. Her silky blue blouse is
tucked into a slim black pencil skirt. At the bottom, her feet are hidden by
designer shoes that probably cost as much as I pay in rent. He wears a tailored
navy suit and a crisp white shirt. A gray tie is knotted carefully at his neck.
In a word? Sex. Flutters of awareness ignite licks of desire down to my toes.
“Oh!” I gasp, dropping my bag on my foot
in surprise, causing some of its contents to fling across the ground. “Ouch!”
“Is my little mouse clumsy?” Claire asks
with a laugh.
The more I hear that nickname, the less I
enjoy it.
“Quite,” I confirm. I drop down to my
knees to pick up my things. Then I spot it, next to a pair of shiny mahogany
loafers. A tampon rolled right out of my bag and landed conveniently next to
Harris’ foot. I don’t think it’s possible for this moment to get more
embarrassing, until he crouches down to retrieve my lost item. An elegant hand
extends to pick it up, and he waves the offending sanitary device in front of
me.
“This belong to you?” His voice is gruff,
not an ounce of warmth in it.
“Yes, thank you,” I mutter. I swipe it
from his grasp, and scramble around the wood floor to collect the rest of my
belongings. Claire just barely muffles her laughter, but I can hear her short
giggles, probably at my expense.
I right myself and smooth my shorts
around my legs, knowing full and well that my cheeks are bright red. “Let me
try this again. Hi, guys.”
“Eddie, I’m Harris. I didn’t formally
introduce myself when I saw you yesterday.”
I look up and up and up from where my
eyes are trained at the floor and catch his gaze. His steel gray eyes meet mine
and hold firmly. I want to turn away, but I’m trapped. He’s locked me in place
with his sharp attention.
