You can't thaw a heart that was never frozen.
Retired at thirty-five, billionaire Matt Coolidge should be enjoying the fruits of his workaholic years. Instead, he's got migraines from butting heads with his mother. If Matt doesn't get a matrimonial move-on, she's threatening to will the family farm to his brother, who'll turn it into a strip mall.
Then Matt's childhood best friend rolls back into town, bringing a complication that's not entirely unexpected—or unwelcome.
Years ago, with Matt's help, Dara Marley froze several embryos before cancer treatment stole her fertility—and before a stupid argument tore their friendship apart. Now alone, she's taking the most logical step to ensure the child she's carrying has a father. Returning to Matt—and hoping bygones will be bygones.
Baby and all, Matt's on board. And when Dara finds out Matt's career kept him too busy for a relationship—even sex—she's more than happy to bring him up to speed.
But a decades-old grudge between their families means keeping quiet about their good news—and the feelings they never knew went far deeper than friendship.
Warning: Contains a virgin who's been waiting a long time for this and a woman who's happy to show him the way. And they've both had it up to here with narrow-minded gossips and small-town grudges.
