Lovers to friends to lovers...could it get any more complicated? One thing Carissa Brandt knows: spontaneity always gets her in trouble. Still, she's gone and jumped head first into an impulsive summer renovation project with her fingers crossed. When her contractor turns out to be a cheat, it seems her only lifeline is the proffered hand of Josh Hudson-the sexy Marine who left her aching for more than their single night together three years ago. Josh has two hard and fast rules: never mix business with pleasure and don't look twice at women his friends have dated, much less loved. It makes life in a small town simple-or it would, if he wasn't harboring a secret with the potential to destroy his good name and the reputation of a woman he can't get out of his head. When Carissa finds herself in a bind, Josh's integrity-both personal and professional-won't let her fail. Will working together finally extinguish the attraction lingering between them? Or will the smoldering embers of their passionate rendezvous ignite all over again and set aflame the friendships they cherish the most? Warning: This book contains a hella-sexy, inked up hero, a spunky heroine who isn't afraid to speak her mind, smokin' hot sex, and enough swearing to make your momma blush.
