If I Can't Have You

Leave it to Jinny Hardwick, a certified genius, to literally fall at the feet of a gorgeous man. Klutzy? Always. And of course it happened at the worst possible moment.

Not all bad, though, because Ben Masters needs help with his house renovation, and she needs a job. Her résumé may not scream "carpenter," but carpentry involves math, right? And math she can do.

The real problem isn't the hammer and nails. It's Ben himself. He's steady, thoughtful, too easy to talk to. And when he kissed her, when she kissed him back, keeping things casual felt impossible.

But something about Ben doesn't add up. Secretive phone calls. Two cell phones. Disappearing without explanation. He's the town mystery wrapped in tool belts and broad shoulders. The more time she spends with him, the more she wonders what he's hiding.

He swears he'll tell her everything later. But what if later changes everything?

Opposites attract. Small-town secrets. One genius who might not be smart enough to guard her heart.
