If I Didn't Care

Whoever said karma is a bitch had it right. Nicole Bennett just wished she knew what she'd done to upset the universe. Fired from her dream job, she's back at home with her demoralized dad and her spoiled-brat sister. Surely that's enough punishment for one woman. But then the jerk who fired her walks into her family's store. Doesn't matter that he's sexier than sin. Nope. Doesn't matter at all.

Ross Calvert is spending a month in MacLeod's Cove to keep an eye on his friend's mom, while also searching for another corporate ladder to climb. But the elderly woman lives more and more in the past and Ross needs help. Lucky for him, the cute woman next door answers his plea. Unlucky for him, she hates his guts.

Now he's determined to prove to Nicole that his heart isn't made of ice. Problem is, Nicole doesn't plan to stick around.
