He was her first love. She was his only.
Mia Caldwell knows how to get stuff done. Armed with a plan to transform her family home into a veteranโs retreat, she employs the help of her childhood friend and former crush, Oliver Bennett. But banging the sexy blacksmith wasnโt on her to-do list.
No longer an awkward teenage boy, Ollie is all man now with a successful business, a panty-melting smile and a body that would make Thor jealous. But heโs not the only one whoโs changed. Mia isnโt the same naรฏve teenager she was when she left Melvilleโs Cross and she isnโt afraid to go after whateverโor whomeverโshe wants.
Oliver Bennett knew from the first day they met: Mia Caldwell was the girl of his dreams. She was smart, funny and driven to succeed, not to mention she had a smile that could drop him to his knees and a dominant streak that could keep him where he fell.
All grown up and more commanding than ever, Mia still has the power to bend Ollie to her will, only this time he isnโt holding back. He never told her how he felt way back when and itโs not a mistake heโs willing to repeat, but as their friendship turns a corner, can he convince Mia to give them the chance he knows they deserve, or is friends with benefits all theyโre destined to beโฆ?
