"I want you to be my plaything," he says after a moment. "I know we both want it. I'm not as unaware as you think I am."

Anna can't help but notice her new neighbor's daily routine - especially when he's shirtless in his garden, stealing glances at her through her window. Jake is a grumpy retired businessman with a green thumb and emotional walls built higher than his prized perennials. When she confronts him about his wandering eyes, sparks fly in unexpected ways.

Their attraction ignites into a unique arrangement: Jake gets to live out his deepest fantasy of having a "free use" partner, while Anna discovers a side of herself she never knew existed. But what starts as a simple agreement becomes deliciously complicated when feelings start blooming faster than Jake's beloved flowers.

Can Anna break through Jake's carefully cultivated defenses? Or will his past heartbreak keep him from taking a chance on the curvy young woman who's ready to tend to more than just his garden? Sometimes the sweetest relationships grow in the most unexpected places...
