Ava Sanderson doesn’t “do” casual dating.
She wants to date one man, not a dozen. Sleep with one man, not a dozen.
And after switching from her decade long career in chemistry to co-owning Rosalind Brewery with her two best friends, swearing off all forms of dating is easier than taking the risk. Because when Ava falls for a guy…she falls hard.
Jake Rossi needs a distraction for the next two months before he deploys back to the dessert or to wherever the Army wants to send him. A couple of months as a maintenance man at the Rosalind Brewery seems like an easy job.
Until he meets Ava.
The woman is wicked smart, doesn’t have a clue about construction, and fights him at every turn. Jake can help- if she lets him.
But that’s not all Jake wants. He wants a date.
One date before he deploys.
Before he leaves Asheville and never returns.
