Jade Bennett arrived in Sunshine, Idaho after running from her job, home and family in Chicago. She's been working as a receptionist for veterinarian Dell Connelly for eighteen months but hasn't shared any of her past with him. Jade hasn't dated at all since arriving in Sunshine and has avoided all long-term commitments until the day she agreed to take home a wary, stray kitten she named Beans. The entire time Jade has worked for Dell she's watched him avoid relationships like the plague while using his charms to wrap every woman he meets around his little finger. Jade has avoided being one of those women so far, but things have started to change ever since she announced that it was time for her to go back home.

Dell isn't sure what put that guarded, scared look in Jade's eyes but he's willing to do whatever it takes to erase it. Ever since she announced she was returning to Chicago, he's been seeing everything a little bit differently. The heat between them is starting to burn out of control. But will one night be enough?
