Synopsis

He’s everything she never knew she wanted…

With her most recent romance exploding as spectacularly as a fireworks show in July, lively Marisol Gonzalez runs to the brother who is most like her and has always understood her best. When she gets there, she finds things have changed. Her brother isn’t quite who he used to be, and his friends have changed, too—which might be a good thing. One of these new friends is the most unique man she has ever met: smart, kind, good. He’s all a girl could want in a man—but can she ever measure up and be all he needs?

When super-serious Cade Lundell, a number-cruncher by trade, learns the woman he was sure was the one belongs to another, he figures he’s a bachelor for life. He doesn’t want to settle. Problem is, he’s quiet and awkward and women don’t exactly flock to him. Worse, he tends to mess up the opportunities he does get. Then, Marisol Gonzalez barrels into his life upending his ordered—and dull—world. She means well, but much like himself, she has her own special way of complicating simple things.

Can two people as different as they are the same find common ground and a future truly together?
