He was a forever kind of guy. Walking into the sunset, hand-in-hand, with a lifetime of memories.
She couldn't see past her five-year plan.
Shasta Daisy Lee can’t imagine how people live without goals and carefully crafted five-year plans. She may have a carefree name—thanks to her bohemian parents—but she’s anything but. She left her chaotic, drifter childhood behind and never looked back. Clean, orderly, and predictable is what she craves. The only thing she can’t shake is the nomadic lifestyle that comes with her job as an acquisitions manager. At Numbers by the Book, she creates beauty from chaos but has no place to call home. It’s time to secure the promotion being dangled in front of her and put down roots for the first time in her life. Two things stand in her way: a boss with unrealistic expectations and the weather. Only one landscaper is willing to take on the job so late in the season. A disorganized, single father who makes her Viking fantasies come to life—all of which scream messy. There’s no time for romantic attachments, but she forgot all that when she slipped into his arms for that sunset dance. And allowed that one bone-melting, spine-tingling kiss... Now her crazy heart has its own plan.
After a disastrous marriage left him with a perfect baby girl and an ex-wife more focused on her career than a family, Zach Halliday moved back in with his parents. No shame there. It gives him the ability to start his own business as a landscape architect. But it’s been four long years… Despite his failure the first time around, he still wants it all. The big old drafty house, huge yard, tire swing roped on an ancient oak, and three or four kids. He just needs Ms. Right to make it all happen. He’s found the perfect home as long as he can secure the down payment before the deadline. And his new client can make that happen. Too bad she’s an ice princess. And too bad her laughter wraps around him like something warm and familiar. Too bad her kisses are sweeter than cane sugar and more intoxicating than a good wine because Shasta couldn’t be more wrong in his search for Ms. Right.
Shasta has no intention of giving up her plans, not for anyone. Even if he is everything she never knew she wanted.
Can this mismatched couple find common ground and an orderly happily ever after?
