Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he’s taking his coffee: By myself. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the type of a stranded runaway bride.
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She used to be riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old school way…with fists and beer. On a regular basis in that order.
Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck on the town with out a car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to maintain.
There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is assist her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her By myself and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.
