Owen Gallagher fell in lust at first sight with Liz McKinley on the dance floor.

But in the next blink, she was gone and his life changed forever.

When an accident forces him to step back from the world he knows and actually rest for the first time in his life, he's no longer the carefree guy his friends and family know.

He's grumpy, cantankerous, and doesn't want to be nursed back to health.

That is, until he realizes Liz is not only the one who can help him—but happens to be his new neighbor.

Liz doesn't want to take a chance on the sexy man next door. She's had enough heartache and pain in her life. But Owen changes something in her she'd wanted to keep hidden.

And now the two of them have a chance at something no one saw coming...as long as the two of them can handle the heat.
