Rhett Senova could charm a woman out of her panties and in the next breath, thank her mother for dinner. Smooth doesn't even begin to cover his moves. But the hottest playboy in Arrow Creek wasn't always this way. He had dreams of a one-woman future, and the cry of his firstborn brought him to tears. He never thought his wife would cheat on him with her boss. Each day is a feud over the dream home he had built for his ex and learning to raise his young son without the jaded lens now coloring his world. Starting over in his thirties isn't on his agenda. Not now that he's raised impenetrable walls. His ex left the sour taste of infidelity in his mouth, and he's not sure he can trust anyone new. That is until he meets a vision passing through town and nearly gets mauled by her she-demon dog. Her sassy wit makes other women seem inadequate, along with those luscious curves and burgundy curls. The fact she hides beneath her tough exterior that she might be in trouble sends up red flags he'd be smart not to ignore. Using his charm to win over the pit bull is the easy part. The question is whether he wants to win over the guarded redhead too.
