About the book

Thanks to her matchmaking grandma, Laura Kincaide has got the job of a lifetime...

and the last man on earth she would have chosen as a partner. How can she work under the same roof with Jack Thomas when she still hasn't forgiven him for breaking her teenage heart? How much will they get done when his sexy smile still makes her want to jump his gorgeous bones...?

Jack is more than willing to have his bones jumped by the girl who's grown into such a feisty woman. But there's the teeny problem of her attitude. How can he get her to come out and play when she won't even be in the same room with him? How can he convince her that being with him in the present will be far more satisfying than holding the past against him?
