Callen is the strong silent type and he's totally comfortable living the bachelor life while all his friends settle down. As a rising star on the New York Rangers, Callen has to focus on his game. His contract ends this season and he's hit a horrible slump, so he can't afford any distractions. Especially a pretty blonde distraction with flowers in her hair who works down the street. Penny Duchene's willpower has finally met its match... Penny scouted the job at the Midtown Bistro for one reason, and it wasn't to fawn over Callen Copley.

But when someone from her past shows up and threatens to reveal her true motives, Callen has difficulty believing everything they've shared is real. Why did she choose him? Is Penny even her real name? The truth will set you free even if all you've ever wanted was a place to belong...
