He'd be the perfect guy…if he wasn't trying to ruin her life. Ian Greene would do just about anything for his beloved grandmother, so when Gran suddenly announces she's leaving the family property to her shady new neighbor, Ian is on the case. He'll use every one of his sharply-honed investigator skills to expose the gold digger and save Gran. He leaves the city behind for Gran's sweet small town, but instead of a slick scammer, he finds Brooke Spencer, freckled and gorgeous even in sawdust and overalls, playing with Gran in the garden. She may have fooled his grandmother with her charming girl-next-door act, but Ian isn't falling for it. Brooke Spencer is living her best life in Creekville, hundreds of miles from the career that tried to destroy her. She's happy renovating the creaky house she inherited from her uncle and working with Miss Lily in the garden all summer. But when Miss Lily's handsome but obnoxious grandson shows up making wild accusations and dragging up Brooke's past, she must convince Ian he has her all wrong. When their chemistry proves even more dangerous to her peace of mind than his accusations, Brooke knows she must put Ian firmly in the friend zone. But how is she supposed to do that when he makes her laugh and swoon harder than anyone she's ever known? And worse, what happens if choosing him means giving up her hard-won new life?
