When her life went topsy-turvy, Roxie Ducharme sought temporary refuge in the small New Mexico town she'd left years before. But as she plunged into renovating her uncle's home as an antidote to heartbreak, she faced an unforeseen contractor Noah Garrett—still as alluring and unattainable as he'd been years before. Noah's love-'em-and-leave-'em exterior belied a hardworking, responsible man…one who made every inch of Roxie's skin prickle with desire. And to Noah's surprise, Roxie haunted his every waking moment. But Noah had no desire for the white picket fence, the house, the kids of Roxie's dreams. Could he come to terms with "happily ever after"—before Roxie left his life forever?
