As a political advisor, words are Jordan Delaney's weapon. I, on the other hand, am a single mom with verbal diarrhea. When he witnesses my pathetic attempt to flirt and later saves me from an embarrassing date, I do my best to avoid him. Yet it's getting harder to ignore the red-hot chemistry between us.

When Jordan helps my socially-struggling daughter, he wins her heart and puts me at risk of losing my heart to him. But our worlds couldn't be more different. My home is this small town, and Jordan is only back here to lick his wounds before returning to the shark tank that is D.C. politics.

He's there for us time and again and makes me feel seen for the first time in forever. He's more deserving of love than he thinks he is. But would he want or fit a single mom's unglamorous life? Can we survive my past scars and his fresh ones?
