Men view love as a game. One you can walk away from.
At least that's what the men in my life have taught me. My dad ran off when I was young, and just when I thought I was getting my own happily ever after, my ex left me on my own with two kids.
Trying to pick up the pieces, I move to a small town where I can have help from my children's grandparents. I think I know what to expect from small-town life. Until I meet my new neighbor.
Knox Madigan. Local hero. Great smile. So hot I'm sure I'd be burned if I got too close.
Literally. He and my kids are in a major prank war. From whoopie cushions in my bed to snapping fireworks under my front door mat, I've witnessed it all. But I can't hold it against him because my kids are smiling more than I've seen since their dad left.
Every meddling person in this town thinks we'd be the perfect match, but I know better.
History's shown men view love as a game, and he's an expert. But I can't afford to play with my heart again. Especially since it's not just my heart on the line.
