Fall in the mud. Best way to meet a H-O-T guy. Not. Rachel I fell in the mud, got a flat tire, and Remy kissed me. I saw stars. I might’ve seen God. But a hotshot firefighter to rescue me? Don’t think so. Then, I catch way too hot Remy Martin staring at my muddy a\\. He’s got that whole tall, dark & protective thing going strong. So strong, I can’t resist. I’ve got a messy past.

I never thought a s\*xy man who calls me sweetheart might be enough to hold my heart hostage. But then, I wasn’t prepared for Remy. Remy Rachel Garrett is strong, smart & feisty. She’s also got a stay-the-h\*ll-away-from-me vibe for the ages. I’ve got more than enough reasons to avoid romance, but I never could resist a challenge. Rachel doesn’t need me. Or so I think. The closer I get, the more I want her. The second I see past the surface to the vulnerability underneath, well, that’s it. I don’t care if Rachel doesn’t need me.

I’ve got a messy past. The last thing I need is to fall for someone. Certainly not Remy who makes me want to break every rule I wrote for myself.
