Now that her business is providing the stability she’s always needed, she can’t afford distractions. Her two-date rule will protect her just fine…until she meets smokejumper Grady Billman.After one date—one amazing, unforgettable date—Grady isn’t ready to call it quits, despite his own no-attachments policy, and he’s found a sneaky way around both their rules.Throwing gutter balls with pitchers of beer? Not a real date. Everyone knows bowling doesn’t count.Watching a band play at a local show? They just happen to have the same great taste in music. Definitely not a date.Hiking? Nope. How can exercise be considered a date?With every "non-date" Grady suggests, his reasoning gets more ridiculous, and Willa must admit she’s having fun playing along. But when their time together costs Willa two critical clients, it's clear she needs to focus on the only thing that matters—her future.
