What’s a girl who hates attachment to do when she finds herself…getting attached?

With my adult boutique opening in three months, I’ve finally come up with a plan to defy my family’s labels and reclaim the confidence stolen by my crappy ex. All I need is a remodeled building and a Friend with Benefits to take me there.

It’s too bad my building is falling apart, the lawn is underwater, and all my dates are duds. To add insult to injury, the only person who can help me is my brother’s best friend, Ben Till, the man I’ve been trying—and failing—to hate for the past year. He’s infuriatingly handsome, obnoxiously competent, and worst of all, acting interested in me.

It’s no secret Ben is looking for The One, while I’m allergic to commitment. So why is the upstanding son of Mrs. Mayor offering to be my Friend with Benefits? If I agree to his proposition, I’ll need to draw careful boundaries. No kissing, no cuddling, and absolutely no spending the night.

Because I allowed Ben to hurt me once before, and I’m not willing to risk my heart again.
