Book Description

Nevaeh's father might just be the grumpiest man on the planet. But without her mother around, he needs help in the office of his growing stone and tile business. When Nevaeh arrives, she's floored to see the one man her father despises most working in the back for him.

Trent was always just a dream. Her father forbade them from dating. But that was in high school.

Trent's filled out and packed on muscle from his years of military service. Nevaeh's grown up and built her own business designing stone features for residential gardens and commercial atriums. Her unexpected hope at a second chance with Trent wanes when her father admits he's only helping the soldier get his life on track after the military. Before long, Trent will be moving on. And he still doesn't want her to get any ideas about dating the young man.

Nevaeh can't believe her father's still trying to control her life. Furious, she shuts him out until her curiosity grows too strong. At a get-together with her best friends, she pools them for ideas but finds nothing helpful except the notion that Trent is not who he says he is.

Seeing Nevaeh again has Trent reconsidering his plans for the future. But the last thing he wants to do is disrespect the man giving him a new set of skills after the military. Unfortunately, being around Nevaeh grows too tempting. One night on the town for St. Patrick's Day with Nevaeh has his judgment skewed. After wrecking their car and spending a treacherous night in the middle of nowhere, Nevaeh's father fires Trent, putting them at odds again.

When a surprise visitor shows up to defend Trent and give him a second chance, secrets come out in a fiery confrontation that changes everything.

Will Nevaeh ever be free of her father's overbearing rules and find love with Trent? Or will the two of them uncover a truth they can't endure and be forced to part ways forever?
