Ivori Jones has built a life where everything is handled. Her career is solid, her home is beautiful, and nobody has ever had reason to mistake her for the reckless friend. The explicit list hidden on her kitchen counter is the one exception.

​

When Clinton Richards, the fine landscaper she has spent months pretending not to watch, picks up the wrong piece of paper, Ivori expects embarrassment to finish her. Instead, the look in his eyes leaves her wondering whether the fantasies she has kept private could finally become real.

​

Their arrangement has rules. No dates. No complications. No feelings. Clinton agrees to help her complete the list, but the more time they spend together, the less interested he becomes in the woman on the page and the more determined he is to know the woman holding it.

​

Ivori wanted the rest of the year when pleasure belonged to her and every fantasy could come off the page. She never expected the greatest risk would be trusting Clinton with her heart.
