Overview
That inked bad boy who's been flirting hard with me since he rode into town? Turns out he's my new housemate, which is one hell of a problem since our chemistry is so hot it should be illegal.
I have a fantastic family, great best friends, a job I love...and now I'm up for a promotion to police sergeant. I need total focus—not a flirty, dirty, irresistible, tattooed hottie riding into my town on his motorcycle. Can I arrest him for being too good-looking? When he kisses me senseless in the back of a waffle truck, it's criminal, the things he makes me think about hot syrup and melted butter. One order of hot, fluffy hookup to go, please.
But the next time I see him, it's not for our date with benefits. He's the guy who just rented the room above my garage.
I need the rent to pay my bills, not a man like Derek, who I soon discover to be strong, caring, generous, good with kids, and kind to puppies... If I'm not careful, he'll be moving into my heart as well as my house.

A no-strings-attached fling with the fiery redhead who revs my engine? Why, yes, that does sound like a delicious perk of my new job in this new town, thank you very much. I'm coming off a bad relationship, and I have zero interest in anything serious. I've got all the serious I need helping my sister take care of her three little kids while her husband is deployed.
Except, surprise! Perri isn't just my future fling. Turns out she's my sexy, sassy landlord.
A lease definitely counts as "strings attached," and as much as I'd like to get tangled in her sheets, I can't let myself get tangled up in a relationship.
But as soon as we put the cuffs on our escapades, I learn over late-night conversations in the kitchen, that my landlord is so much more than the sexiest woman I've ever met– she has a quick mind and the biggest heart.
Once I'm in, I'm all in. And to convince her that we should see where this goes, I plan on turning up the heat—and not just in the kitchen.
