I just wanted a one-night stand with the hot bartender.
I wasn’t expecting him to offer me a job.
A family tragedy brought me back to my hometown and into his bar.
Jay Carlton: my best friend’s brother and the object of my teenage obsession.
I didn’t think it was possible for him to get any hotter but…
Swoon.
Too bad his attitude and broody personality ruin all his appeal.
At work, we're oil and water.
But after hours? We're pure fire.
We agree it's just physical—no strings, no complications.
After all, Jay doesn’t do relationships.
But when Mom's home is damaged in a storm, he offers us shelter.
Now we’re playing house, sharing meals and caring for my injured mother like a married couple.
Jay’s letting me see a softer, deeper side of him.
And I'm starting to want more than benefits.
But just as I'm ready to let my guard down,
A little pink plus sign changes everything.
