Josie Marcum has been a good girl for far too long. She's lived her whole life by other people's expectations and with her thirtieth birthday looming ahead of her and a love-life that can only be described as barren, she decides to take a walk on the wild side. There is no one wilder in all of Fontaine, Kentucky than Carter Hayes. All southern charm and bad boy appeal wrapped up in a package that could grace any billboard in Times Square, Carter is not the commitment type. He never has been and most people bet he never will, including Josie. Which makes him perfect for what she has planned... a short, steamy affair. There's only one problem. Carter doesn't play by anyone's rules, including hers. Carter doesn't believe in love and romance. He believes in chemistry. But there's something more than just attraction with Josie, and he'll be damned if he'll let her go before he figures out what that is. It can't be love... can it?
