"As a successful book publicist, Imani Lewis prides herself on being prepared. But nothing can prepare her for seeing Zander Matthews again after she ghosted him a year ago. Their chemistry was so hot that that her only option of not getting involved is to avoid Zander at all costs. But in a town with only four stoplights, avoidance isn't an option. As manager and artist-in-residence of a ceramic's studio, Zander Matthews seemingly has it all: he creates all day and throws clay with strangers at night. But his carefree lifestyle hides a serious side. After his tour as a Marine, his life goal is simple: enjoy the present, as tomorrow is not promised. But lately he's thinking a future with Imani might be exactly what he's been missing. His proposal: spend time together just as friends. After all, she needs his help anyway in fixing up her grandmother's house. After weeks of totally platonic fun together, she finally caves to his request for a first date in a hot air balloon. But since her small-town stay is temporary and Zander can't be tied to anything beyond the most tenuous plans, will she be able to handle it when things get all fired up?"--Provided by publisher.
