From the moment he moved in...It was hate at first sight. As a plant-loving homeowner, I take particular pride in my gardens. So, when I came home to find several of my flower beds trampled by my new next door neighbor, sparks flew. And not in the sexy sort of way. Jackson Reid was everything I hate in a man. He's rude and overbearing - and did I mention he's a lawyer? He's also a single dad and soon I began to see, behind all that arrogance, he's also incredibly patient and caring. In fact, many of the things I hated about him melt away and I'm left, not just liking him. I think I might be falling for him too. But, like most adult relationships, we both came with a past and Jackson's baggage may destroy more than our budding love affair if we're not careful. Being neighborly just got a whole lot more complicated...

But, when he found himself on location in my hometown for an extended period of time, that one night turned into more and things began to get complicated.
