Peachtree Grove

Parent. Work. Football. That's my life summed up in three words. Sure, I used to be a pro NFL baller, but now I'm perfectly content with a quiet life in my small hometown of Peachtree Grove, Georgia. That is until Bree, a beautiful blonde dating expert, gets tackled at my Pee Wee football practice, knocking me off my game. I swore I'd never get involved again after my messy divorce left me reeling, but one date with Bree and I'm dropping all my hesitations-along with my jersey. Now she has me rethinking my plays. But will the tabloids, my ex, and Bree's complicated past keep us in the friendzone?

Delaney Miller, baker extraordinaire, is back in town and she's all grown-up-sassy, spicy, and sexy AF. Too bad she's my best friend's little sister, slamming her firmly into the Off-Limits category. Except that's not exactly what goes down. When I lose a bet with her, she takes what she wants and what she wants is me slamming into her. As a firefighter, I know when I'm too close to a blaze-and I've been burned before. I should walk-no, run-away, before either of us gets hurt. Trouble is, now that I've had a taste, I want more. But will I be able to handle the heat in the kitchen or will we both go up in flames?

I'm a small-town bartender who's never been north of the Mississippi and I gave up on my Prince Charming coming around a long time ago. So when Liam McCauliffe-smart, gorgeous, tech billionaire-rolls into Peachtree Grove and is interested in me, it has to be a mistake. He must be confused. Except he isn't. He knows what he wants. And what he wants is me. Before I know it, I'm trading in my double-shifts at the Rowdy for a fairy tale life: private jets, star-studded galas, and glittery diamond necklaces.
