When you swear off men for the foreseeable future, that means no
dating. Hookups don't count, right?
Harper Ryland has been on a self-imposed man ban for the last twelve
months, after a particularly horrible breakup. Instead, she's focusing
on the one thing she can control: her career as an up-and-coming food
stylist. Harper's latest gig is her best friend's wedding, and she
receives glowing praise throughout the night. When the Best Man, Manny
Gomes, belittles her hard work, she wants to stab him with skewers from
the buffet table, but she can think of something much better: to lead
him on the entire wedding and then humiliate him in sweet revenge.
When the handsome Anglo-Indian doctor shows up in New Zealand a week
later, while Harper's on her first international job, it's the last
thing she needs. Everything about him rubs her the wrong way, but when
suave Manny steps in to help after an unfortunate disaster, his chivalry
gets under her skin a little, and Harper discovers lifting her ban while
overseas is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Manny isn't looking for anything but fun either--especially not
marriage, like his grandmother Izzy keeps pushing on him. But there's
something about Harper that makes him want more, even though she keeps
her distance, and they're about to discover how far he's willing to go
to be with her. . . .
