Samuel's mystery sext partner and his infuriating coworker are the same woman, and now he's caught between proving himself at work and falling hard for the one person he can't have. Get ready for a delicious enemies-to-lovers romp where a cocky Southern charmer learns that sometimes the person who drives you crazy is exactly who you need.
