Carol isn’t good at flirting. Or seduction. Or anything that requires putting herself out there. But she’s
going to make sure Patrick sees her as a desirable woman—and one he wants for more than one night
—even if it turns her whole world upside down. He already likes her a lot. He just needs to open his
eyes to how good they’d be together.

Excerpt:
She narrowed her eyes even more and gave him a cool glare. “You might as well just admit it.
I know exactly what happened.”
I know exactly what happened.”
He groaned softly. “All right. Fine. I couldn’t believe you’d be acting like… like that.”
“Like what?”
She was making this as hard as possible for him, and he couldn’t even blame her. “Like you…
liked me.” It sounded ridiculous, immature, but he couldn’t think of any other way to put it.
liked me.” It sounded ridiculous, immature, but he couldn’t think of any other way to put it.
“And you really can’t believe that I do?”
He wanted to be anywhere but here, put on the spot like this. He wanted to get up and leave,
somehow escape everything he was feeling.
somehow escape everything he was feeling.
But, if he did, that would be it. He’d never have Carol in his life again. He might have messed
this up completely, but he wasn’t prepared to lose her for good. So he told her the truth. “No. I
really can’t.”

really can’t.”
“Why the hell not?”
Carol almost never used to rough language—even something as mild as “hell.” It seemed to
emphasize how upset she really was.

“I… I don’t even know.”
She stared at him for a full minute. He could see her chest rise and fall with her heaving
breathing. Then she finally got up, muttering, “You’re a real idiot sometimes. You know that,
right?” She went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

He hauled himself to his feet and followed her. “I know I’m an idiot. I know that. But I’m still
here, trying to fix things.”

She was staring into her open refrigerator, like she’d forgotten what she’d come here for.
“Carol,” he said, touching her shoulder gently. She looked so hurt and wounded. He couldn’t
believe he was important enough to her to make her feel this way.

She whirled around to face him. “Why shouldn’t I like you?” she demanded.
He blinked. “Because… because it seems pretty obvious that it’s just because the others have
gotten together.”
gotten together.”
“What does that even mean?”
“I mean Emma and Noah got together, and then Ginny and Ryan got together. So now we’re
the only two left. I get it. I do. It would make sense for us to get paired up in the same way. But
that doesn’t mean it’s… it’s real.”

that doesn’t mean it’s… it’s real.”
She made a loud, throaty sound of naked frustration.
Patrick contorted his face as he was washed with self-consciousness and confusion. “I’m trying
to be honest here.”
to be honest here.”
“I know you are. I know you are!”
She closed the refrigerator, having taken nothing out. “Why wouldn’t we be good together?”
“We’re totally different. If I wasn’t the last guy left in our little group, you’d choose someone
totally different.” He knew this much for sure. He’d been rehearsing it over and over again—
for months now—reminding himself that any soft looks she’d given him had been based on
something other than real attraction.

“How do you know that?”
“Carol, please. I know I act stupid sometimes, but I do have a functioning mind. And neither
one of us deserves to be stuck with… whoever happens to be left.”

She gaped at him. Literally gaped. Then her cheeks paled even more. “You think I’m… just
whoever happens to be left.”

“Not you,” he gasped, shocked that she’d ever even imagine he felt that way. “Not you. Me.
I’m whoever is left.”
I’m whoever is left.”
“You… you… you…” She was panting, couldn’t even get the words out.
“Me what?”
“You idiot!”
He was processing her uncontrolled outburst and so he wasn’t prepared for what she did next.
What she did was launch herself at him, grabbing his head and pulling it down into a kiss.
Since he wasn’t prepared, he couldn’t control his response. And he’d been wanting her too
much, for too long, and not letting himself act on that desire.
much, for too long, and not letting himself act on that desire.
So he didn’t stop it, even though he knew he should.
He didn’t push her away gently and explain that it couldn’t happen.
He kissed her back.

going to spend the time focusing on her career, getting in touch with herself, and helping her two best
friends with the launch of their new tea room. No men.
And that includes her brother's best friend, Noah Hart, who has just returned to their hometown.
She doesn't want Noah anyway. He might be even hotter than he was before, but he's not a nice guy
anymore. He's made a fortune by acting ruthless in business, and the last thing he's looking for is
small-town domestic life. He doesn't even want to be in town again, but a sick grandmother guilted
him into it. Then he has nerve to not even recognize Emma when he sees her again. Maybe it's been
seven years, but a decent guy would remember his best friend's little sister.
