Passionate about her new venture, Maddy is determined to ignore the fact that her contractor, a jean-clad version of a Greek god, might have more on his mind than renovating her house. She will have to keep her wits about her if she is going to put love in its place.

When a scandal forces her to rethink her career path, Becky Jacobs finds herself working at her perfect sister's perfect little Bed & Breakfast. To make matters worse, she must cater to the whims of her insufferable houseguest, a brooding ex-NFL player named Tank. The only logical course of action? Swear off men. Forever. Tank Kimball comes to Clairmont, Maine, to rest and recover from a career-ending injury, but putting up with the feisty innkeeper is hardly restful. Still, she seems to be his connection to the community, and before long he finds himself team-teaching a sex education class at the high school with her. Suddenly, the ever-confident Becky is tongue-tied in his presence. Finding common ground between their battles proves challenging, but Tank begins to think that Becky has more power in his recovery than he ever thought possible. Can he convince her to give one more man a chance? This story follows the Clairmont novella, You Smiled. less
