Publisher Description
"All-consuming, deep, seductive, so damn emotional—this book is everything I expect from Jewel E. Ann. ~ Pam Godwin, New York Times bestselling author
Flint Hopkins finds the perfect tenant to rent the space above his Minneapolis-based law office.
All the t’s are crossed and i’s dotted on Ellen’s application. Her references are good. And she’s easy on the eyes.
Until …
Flint discovers Ellen Rodgers, Board-Certified Music Therapist, plays music. Bongos, guitars, singing—not Beethoven administered through noise-cancelling headphones.
The cut-throat attorney serves up an eviction notice to the bubbly, constantly-humming redhead who's too sexy for her own good. But luck is on Ellen’s side when Flint’s autistic son, Harrison, takes an instant liking to her. A single dad can’t compete with guitars—and rats. Yes, she has pet rats.
This woman …
She’s annoyingly happy with a constant need to touch him—adjust his tie, button his shirt, invade his space, and mess with his mind.
Still …
She must go.
Their lust-hate relationship escalates into something beautiful and tragic. This sexy, romantic-comedy explores the things we want, the things we need, and the impossible decisions parents and children make to survive.

Look the part
Big CN for death, drink driving, alcoholism/addiction, mention of miscarriage, stroke, pet rats (ew)
Flint was driving drunk when he crashed the car, killing his wife and mother of his kid. He spends the next ten years living like he’s doing some kind of penance, no joy, just looking after his son.
In comes music therapist Ellen who rents the office space above his law office. Turns out music therapy involves loud music which Flint doesn’t like so he tells her to move out.
They have to manage their growing attraction with Flints guilt, a pre-teen ASD son who has no interest in Ellen being more to his dad, Ellen’s own baggage from her previous marriage and like a whole lot of other stuff.
