She hates him. He hates wanting her. Jackson Ashford seems to have it all. He may be a bit of a grump at times, but that doesn’t deter the women of Blue Falls from vying for his attention. So when Ruby Ellison arrives at his doorstep and hates Jackson on sight, he’s confused, to say the least. Ruby Ellison never intended to come to the tiny town of Blue Falls, Idaho, but when her best friend’s search for her birth father takes her there, Ruby follows. And in just a few days she knows it’s the best place she’s ever lived . . . with one exception. Jackson Ashford. But Ruby determines she’ll just avoid him, hate him from afar. However, when Jackson and Ruby are both conned into to coach an eight-year-old girls’ basketball team, Ruby’s plan goes out the window. Because during all that forced time together Ruby wonders if maybe she judged Jackson too harshly. Seeing him interact so sweetly with their team and then spending a tempting night alone with him during a snow storm…everything Ruby once thought she knew suddenly seems less certain. And the closer they get, the more Ruby is sure that loving Jackson Ashford might be as easy as hating him. And that thought scares her most of all.
