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.

EXCERPT:
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.
