One night. No names. No romance. Just fun. Alessandra Everett has no time for love. No time for romantic relationships. Owning the town’s most beloved coffee shop is her greatest accomplishment. A dream brought to life where she dedicates most of her waking hours. Aside from girls’ night and the occasional day off with her besties, Alessandra is a bona fide workaholic. Then she meets him. The handsome magazine journalist from out of town. The man with flirty amber eyes and an addictive smile. All it takes is one kiss, one steamy night, and he lives rent free in her memories. Braydon Harris spends most of his days on the road or writing stories for his family’s travel magazine. Devastated by a relationship gone sour, he elects to live the bachelor life. In his eyes, attachment equals serious. And serious equals heartache. For years, his mantra stuck. Until her… When Braydon returns to Lake Lavender, his one night with her turns into two… and beyond. And with each passing night, they break their own rules. Give into what they feel. Until the last night, when rejection strikes hard. She has sworn off commitment. He vows to never love again. But the more they fight it, the more life brings them together.
