His sister Janelle is angry, sullen, and testing him. But when he helps find her a job at a bookstore she begins to thrive around the owner Clarke and her friend, Veronica. Veronica is a put-together, loaded divorcee' who is independent, feisty, jaded, and caring but has a closed-off heart to romance. She is about to work on achieving some of her goals that got put to the side in the past. She has no interest in giving up herself for a man again.

These two get off on the wrong foot from the first meeting and continue to judge for a while. But looks can be deceiving and they might have more in common than expected. The sexual tension is high and  fiery banter turns on the heat. They are both firmly set on the idea of sex-only and absolutely no relationship. But between the amazing chemistry, a bit of jealousy, and the way she cares for his sister, Riggs might just find himself questioning. They both might have a chance to get what they never thought they really wanted at all. And have to decide if they do or don't.

This is a snappy, antagonistic, sexy, enemies-to-lovers story with redemption and heart.  I loved seeing the layers being pulled back on Riggs and seeing his past, conflict, motivations, and his heart. His past had really damaged him, but I really ended up liking him and felt he really showed growth. I enjoyed seeing him build relationships, open up, and trust. I was happy that Baden was in this book so much and his friendship with Riggs. I enjoy this group and how they are there for each other. I am really excited for Baden's book next.
