City girl Genesis “Gen” Washington is shocked to find that her great uncle has left her his farm, a fact that her cousins deeply resent. She’s further surprised to discover that her new neighbor is Jaxson King, the one-night stand she’s never been able to forget—or forgive. Even more infuriating, Jaxson doesn’t even remember her. The former pro football player and hometown hero is now a single dad who makes a living flipping homes. When Gen’s personal circumstances make living full-time at the farm a necessity, she finds to her chagrin that she can’t do so without Jaxson’s expert help. Spending so much time together makes it easy to forget the reasons why they should stay apart, but both Gen and Jaxson have serious trust issues and major secrets from their pasts that they’d prefer to keep buried, making them unsure if they can create a future together.
VERDICT A host of secondary characters keep things interesting in this second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance from Day (The Secret Heir).
