When a meddling mother plays matchmaker in a small town, the last thing this guy wants is to fall for her newest scheme—but when the beautiful woman she's set him up with suddenly needs rescuing, he can't help but offer shelter (and so much more). What starts as a reluctant arrangement quickly becomes impossible to resist, especially once they're living under the same roof and discovering there's way more to each other than first impressions suggested. This is the perfect blend of small-town charm, forced proximity, and the kind of chemistry that catches you completely off guard. Get ready for a hero who's about to learn that sometimes Mom really does know best!
