Where there's smoke there's fire, and this time there's no keeping the flames under wraps. After ending a passionate affair, Shelby Zurlo thinks she has it all-a career built on brains and not beauty and the independence she craves. But her graphic design business is struggling, and her solo status in a world made for couples leaves her lonely. When a client asks a favor-a favor she can't refuse-Shelby runs headfirst into her biggest mistake and her biggest regret. Nick Chamberlain is living the dream. He's got a successful business venture, a strong and supportive family, and a social life most guys would envy. If only he could move on from the woman who shattered his heart and never looked back. When a chance meeting forces Shelby and Nick to interact, sparks fly and tempers flare. Nick is determined to win Shelby back; Shelby is just as committed to keeping Nick in the friend zone. In a battle of wits, will stubborn hearts bend and sway, or snap in the headwinds of love?
