About the book: 2022 / Isabel. I've loved local landscape designer Knox Jameson since I was twelve years old. Yes, he's my brother's best friend. Totally cliché. But you can't tell your heart, right? Except on my eighteenth birthday, he made it clear that he didn’t need me. Well, no, no. I left our town, determined to forget Knox. And I couldn’t. And now I’m back. It turns out that he wanted me all this time, and playing with the landscaper’s hose is my new favorite pastime. Knox. I've spent the last seven years trying to forget Isabelle. She's my best friend's little sister, and he'd kill me if I started waving a hose in her garden. But her brother is the least of my problems. She's not in love with me. She loves the man she thinks I am. It's much better for both of us if I keep her at a distance, but my ability to resist her is weakening every day. From the author: This is the sixth book in a series of single, short and dirty short stories. (Well. Very. Dirty.) If you're looking for a quick read with a true love, overprotective alpha, blue collar man, then this series about, figuratively speaking, real men is for you! 18+
