Nearly a year ago, Army medic Skylar spent fifteen insanely glorious minutes with a sexy stranger in the back of his bar. And then again in his supply closet. With her random hook-up comes major consequences and responsibilities. Needing the support of her best friends, she heads to Maine to re-evaluate her future.

Since receiving the devastating news that put his wild and crazy adventures to a screeching halt, Nick Pierce's life has been tame, too tame. Until a gorgeous redhead walks into his bar and captivates him with her sense of humor and sharp wit. Skylar sparks the light that dimmed two years ago, and he isn't about to let her slip away. He wants her. Bad. Only she doesn't seem interested in him. At least, not what he's interested in. Kissing. Touching. Bedroom sports. With every push she gives, he only wants her more.

Nick's sense of humor and devilish good looks are too hard to resist. Skylar agrees to one date, and then another. He makes her feel protected, cherished, desired. But she's afraid to get too close. Her life and her career are in Virginia.

But it's not geography that will tear them apart. It's secrets. Hers and his.
