A fresh start. That's what I'm calling this. New town, new house, new hair salon. New life where nobody knows that my ex--the father of my four-year-old daughter--slept with my best friend.

The one complication? Struan Walker. The gorgeous, charming, annoyingly good-with-his-hands builder fixing up my salon. And, as fate would have it, my new next-door neighbour.

Sexy man bun, cheeky grin, broad shoulders built for lifting…

What? No, of course I haven't imagined him lifting me.

Anyway, the man is helpful too, irritatingly so. Fixes things without being asked. Catches me when I fall off chairs. Soothes my daughter's meltdowns in thirty seconds flat.

Plus he's funny. And a devoted single father. And very, very flirty.

And that's the problem. The absolutely colossal, oh-dear-God problem. Because men like Struan? They're used to women falling for them. And judging by the looks he gets around town, plenty already have.

As for me, I learnt the hard way what trusting the wrong man can do, and I will not make the same mistake again. I refuse to let Struan slip past the walls I've put up around myself.

But the more time I spend with him, the harder it is to pretend I'm not tempted to risk everything I came here to rebuild…
