Years of longing collide with a second chance when Rosie desperately needs a job and Ford can't bring himself to turn her away, despite knowing she's completely off-limits. Their verbal sparring ignites into undeniable chemistry that neither can ignore, forcing Ford to confront what he's wanted all along and whether some lines are meant to be crossed. This is a sizzling second-chance romance about finding family in unexpected places and discovering that sometimes the person you can't have is exactly who you need.
