Willa Frank has one simple rule: never go on a date with anyone more than twice. Now that her business is providing the stability sheβs always needed, she canβt afford distractions. Her two-date rule protects her just fine...until she meets smokejumper Grady Billman. After one dateβone amazing, unforgettable dateβGrady isnβt ready to call it quits, despite his own no-attachments policy, and heβs found a sneaky way around both their rules. Throwing gutter balls with pitchers of beer? Not a real date. Everyone knows bowling doesnβt count. Watching a band play at a local show? They just happen to have the same great taste in music. Definitely not a date. Hiking? Nope. How can exercise be considered a date? With every "non-date" Grady suggests, his reasoning gets more ridiculous, and Willa must admit sheβs having fun playing along. But when their time together costs Willa two critical clients, it's clear she needs to focus on the only thing that mattersβher future. And really, he should do the same. But what is she supposed to do with a future that looks gray without Grady in it?
