From best-selling author Xavier Neal comes a slow-burn romance that's full of the unexpected...

They say all the best things in life are free.

I say all the best things in life are easy.

That is until easy gets me put on house arrest where I'm stuck with an estranged aunt, a needy cat, and drinking lemonade instead of tequila.

Easy suddenly becomes hard.

I basically have to sweat to get paid.

I finally realize that great cheesecake doesn't magically materialize.

And I have to deal with a law-appointed babysitter constantly showing up to c-block my chance of proving to the drop-dead gorgeous neighbor - who I want screaming my name every night - that I'm more than just the crime I committed.

All the best things in life may be easy, but I'm slowly learning that all the greatest require real work.

Real effort.

And most importantly, real sacrifice.
