She's got the next decade of her life perfectly planned out. It's too bad her heart didn't get the memo.
Driven consultant-in-training Arden Cooper has always prided herself on being focused and pragmatic. She's worked too hard clawing out of her prominent family's shadow to let a relationship derail her meticulously engineered success trajectory - even if said relationship happens to be with gorgeous former flame Mark Bell.
Maybe "former" isn't quite the correct term, considering the incendiary chemistry that still sizzles between them when a chance reunion leads to unexpectedly picking up right where they left off senior year. But Mark has never been the committed type, thanks to his parents' toxic example, so Arden vows not to lose her head...or heart.
They agree to two simple rules: don't fall in love and don't make any demands about the future. They temporarily indulge the attraction lingering between two people not destined for forever. What could go wrong?
