Rule one of the Bachelor Pact is simple: Never fall in love.

Temporarily returning home to Cedar Falls comes with mixed emotions.

But having to work alongside the distractingly beautiful Pia, hired by my father before his unexpected death to run and restore my family’s inn, is a test I could do without.

I don’t need help, especially from a stranger whose delectable body is inviting me to forget the most important rule of the Bachelor Pact.

I learned early on to avoid attachments, and Pia is completely off-limits. I’m technically her boss. Working together to renovate the crumbling inn, I try to shield my heart and ignore my body’s traitorous responses.

But Pia's laughter fills the dusty halls, melting my defences and testing my iron-clad resolve. As each day passes, the thought of returning to my old life as a cop in the city and leaving Pia becomes more and more difficult.

Now, with my future and an age-old promise on the line, I'm left wondering if I should finally crack open the door to love I sealed so long ago.

The addictive and steamysmall town romance series for fans of Catherine Cowles, Lucy Score, Laura Pavlov and Elsie Silver!
