Billie Bliss built her life around three rules: no marriage, no kids, no happily-ever-afters.

As the oldest sister behind Bliss Bridal, she's made a career out of selling romance while privately roasting it. But when her very private anti-love opinions make her the target of a dangerous obsession, Billie suddenly needs protection.

Unfortunately, the best candidate for the job is the man she wants to avoid at all costs. Former Navy SEAL. Single dad. Her first heartbreak. And the boy she made a stupid bouquet-and-garter pact with twenty years ago.

Adam Knight is back with life-altering baggage: twin daughters he never knew existed and enough emotional scars to avoid anything resembling love.

He's determined to keep his head down and focus on his girls, until she crashes back into his life. When the woman who's haunted him for the twenty years, a walking temptation in designer heels, is in danger, he'll do anything to protect her, even if it complicates his carefully controlled world. But forced proximity has a way of turning good intentions into bad decisions.

Now Billie's sleeping under his roof, helping with his girls, invading his kitchen, and reminding Adam exactly why he never forgot her. Because the more they play house, the harder it becomes to pretend they're not one kiss away from breaking every rule they've ever made.

Contains mature themes.
