So when my sister sets me up on a blind date, I already know it’s a waste of my time. What I don’t expect is him—Decker Hayes. And just like me, he’s only here to check a box and move on. No strings. No feelings. No future.
But one night flips everything. Suddenly, I’m caught up in something bigger than bad first dates and my sister’s obsession with love. And the deeper I get, the more I wonder—was this setup really about me? Or is there a whole other game being played?
HIMI know better than to look for love. The last time I let a woman get too close, she turned my life inside out—and not in a good way. Now, I’m back in my city, back where I belong. No distractions, no drama. Just me, my people, and the business I’m trying to rebuild.
But trouble has a way of finding me. This time, it shows up in the form of a woman who’s just as done with love as I am. Sharp mouth, sharp eyes—she’s got walls as high as mine. We shouldn’t work, but somehow, we do.
Until we don’t because my past comes knocking, and suddenly, everything changes.

This was formally published in the XOXO Anthology, but if you've read it, you haven't–Because this ain't that. This is not a meet-cute, so be ready to have your heart broken just a little. This is the first book in a TRILOGY. Ends on a CLIFFHANGER.
