Hattie I had the picture-perfect life. A hit TV show, a healthy bank account, and celebrity friends. But the perfect life was a perfect lie. Now I’m determined to stop pretending and take what I want. And what I want is local biologist, Finn Whitby. His quiet confidence and natural bossiness bring out a secret side of me I’ve always ignored. As it turns out, Finn can give me exactly what I need in bed, and I’m determined to prove we belong together. Finn Relationships are messy, complicated, and filled with half-truths and lies. I’m content with casual hook ups. Until Hattie King shows up in the last place I expected. As a biologist, I know how hard it is to suppress your nature. I’ve spent months quelling my attraction to her. She’s too young and innocent for someone like me. Then again, I’m the perfect man to give her what she craves. Now, I’m fighting my instincts to claim her. We’re not meant to be forever. So, why can I envision a life together?
