Scott Freakin’ Mullins.

Brother’s best friend, heartbreaker extraordinaire, and the guy who rocked Josie’s world so hard she could still feel it the next day. He’s the only man she wants, and hes entirely off-limits.

Josie Clarke dreams of seeing the world, but she’s trapped in her hometown by family expectations and grief. Scott had made her feel free — until he ended things between them. Apparently being his best friend’s sister is a dealbreaker, not that they can ever ask her brother’s opinion.

Scott insists that he wants to be friends.

Josie insists that she wants to move on.

But she can’t. Not when her traitorous heart leaps whenever she’s near him. No matter what she does, she can’t get the grumpy bartender out of her head.

When she looks into his deep brown eyes, though, she swears she can see something tormenting him. And it makes her wonder … what’s keeping Scott trapped, too?
