Grace
I enjoy the peaceful life I've built, but when my brother arrives unexpectedly in town for work, I know my quiet routine will be shattered. To further complicate things, I know that his best friend-my ex-won't be far behind.


Dallas Elliot made it clear to me long ago that he didn't want a relationship. To prevent history from repeating itself, I plan to avoid the man who broke my heart.


Too bad fate has other plans.


Dallas
I've always known that Grace Slater was off-limits. She's the only girl I broke my "no relationship" rule for, but I cut my losses before my best friend cut me out of his life.


The job we're working shouldn't involve Grace. It definitely shouldn't have put her in danger. I vowed to keep her safe, no matter what. Keeping it professional won't be a problem since she hates me.


Seeing her flustered when I push her buttons is just a perk of being around her...I'm just not prepared when she pushes back.
