There’s no way we can be more than a summer romance…
I really don’t need a bodyguard―I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee’s sake! But I’m getting one anyway since my identical twin sister just booked the movie role of a lifetime and it’s being shot in my hometown. And guess who my new broody, tattooed protector is? None other than the guy I had a one-night stand with last month.
Correction: he’s the guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who ran out on me before the bang without so much as goodbye. And of course he arrives in my tiny hometown where the film is shooting right in the nick of time to save me from the paparazzi at the market. The coffee shop. The dress shop too. I’m trying hard to stay mad after the third time the sexy jerk rescues me.
To top it all off, he’s staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there’s only one bed.
Maybe just one night would relieve all this tension? But one night turns into another, and then into sharing hearts and secrets that are best locked up. Especially since he’s leaving and I’m staying, and there’s no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.

EXCERPT:
“What about your dreams?”
She blinks, surprised. “What do you mean?”
“Well, what are yours? Is it this farm?”
She smiles. “It’s home. I love it. I want it to be the best it can be. I want families to come here and have picnics, to play in the lavender maze, or couples to go on dates here since I finally set up fairy lights at night.”
“That sounds very romantic.”
“It is. I just want others to enjoy it too. To fill their homes with flowers, to open a bottle of lotion, or oil, or soap, and inhale it and feel…calm and happy.”
“You’re doing that, Ripley,” I say.
“Some more attention from the film would be nice. More tourists, more business—you know what I mean?”
I nod. “I do.”
“That’s why I said it—we should keep this on the down-low.”
I reach for her, press a kiss to her nose. “I like secrets. You’re the best kind of secret there is.”
She sighs happily, flips to her side, then closes her eyes.
I don’t fall asleep as fast as she does.
My mind is racing forward, thinking about tomorrow, and the next day, and the next week.
When this ends.
