Playing for Keeps

Jason Bradford is about to do the one thing he swore he’d never do, fall in love.

Haley Blaine is officially done with being the world’s biggest pushover. For the past five years, her incredibly handsome next-door neighbor has made it his personal mission to turn her life into a living hell. But everyone has a breaking point. When Jason finally pushes her too far, Haley decides to take matters into her own hands.

The last thing Jason expects is for his shy neighbor to lose her goddamn mind and attack him with a garden hose. But now that she has? He can't help but notice just how well Haley fits into his life. He likes having her around. He loves the way she feels in his arms. And he is slowly losing his goddamn mind trying to keep his hands off her.

As their neighborhood war turns into something more, Haley realizes that she’s in over her head, knowing that falling for Jason is a guaranteed recipe for a broken heart, especially knowing how this is going to end.

Jason knows she can do better than him, but he's a man used to getting what he wants, and he's done playing games. It's time to prove to his sweet, inexperienced neighbor that he’s playing for keeps.
