Stripped Bare

A sexy single dad.

A tomboy turned runway model.

And the smallest apartment ever for “just friends” to share…


The last single man standing, Sullivan O’Toole is determined to remain that way while raising his son. Until his apartment has smoke damage and he’s forced into a short-term rental with Edwina “Eddie” Hunt,  whose nose he accidentally broke during a hockey pickup game when they were kids. 


Eddie is no longer a tomboy. Eddie is drop-dead gorgeous, back in Beaver Bend visiting, and the one woman who can make him change his mind about being a permanent bachelor…


Except for three small problems.


Eddie lives in New York City and has a thriving business there.

Eddie isn’t single. 

Sullivan still hasn’t forgiven himself for his wife’s death four years earlier.


So maybe three big problems. 


Yet for the first time in forever both are laughing and having fun again, and every heartfelt conversation the old friends have feels like a hefty nudge from fate. Throw in undeniable chemistry that they can’t act on and they’re left wondering what they actually want out of life. 


Can they listen to the signs and find a different future… together?
