Independent, straight-talking Trix Allen needs a man like she needs a hole in the head. She’s been in love before and ended up with nothing but regret. Now safely single, Trix is as far away from the saccharine-sweet world of hearts and flowers as it’s possible to be—and that’s the way she aims to stay. Ben Messina is the man who broke Trix’s heart—not that he sees it that way. He was just too busy working to waste time on love. And now that he’s a big-time success, the only thing always-rational Ben and free-spirited Trix agree on is that falling in love is the last thing either of them wants to do. But when Ben’s brother sets out to win the heart of Trix’s best friend, romance is very much in the air, and the two find themselves being drawn—or is it pushed—together once more . . .
