I'm over men. I'm done with them. Or at least the ones that work in my kitchen. Fine, one man in particular.

He has me to thank for his glowing accolades and five-star write-ups. Only if you were to ask him, he'd say I'm his biggest problem.

Morton "Jacko" Jackman isn't afraid of anything. He's a former Navy SEAL sniper, and he's been in more firefights than most people have had hot meals. Lauren Dare scares the crap out of him.

So he's loved her fiercely in secret, taken her art classes, and kept a watchful but comfortable distance. Until now.

Vann Delane is pushy and stuck up and thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything. I've decided to stay away from him. I've got too many other fires to put out to worry about the something between us that doesn't have a name.
