Welcome to Cedar Falls
Juliette
I never meant to derail a man like Cole Ford. One lost passport and a spiraling travel disaster later, I'm stranded in Cinque Terre-overwhelmed and completely out of my depth. Then Cole shows up: calm, controlled, infuriatingly handsome. He's order wrapped in a perfectly pressed shirt, and somehow the only person who makes me feel steady in the middle of my own chaos. I start wanting what I shouldn't-him. And wanting Cole feels dangerous in a way I can't even explain.
Cole
I don't do chaos. And Juliette Porter is chaos with a heartbeat. I live by structure, logic, and The Bachelor Pact-especially the final rule: never fall in love. Flying to Italy to retrieve Juliette was supposed to be simple. But she slips past every defense I've built, makes me crave the unpredictable, and tempts me to break the vow I swore I'd never touch.
By the time we return to the familiarity of Cedar Falls, one truth is unavoidable: to keep her, I'll have to shatter my last unbroken rule-and finally risk my heart."

Rule one of the Bachelor Pact is simple: Never fall in love.
Temporarily returning home to Cedar Falls comes with mixed emotions. But having to work alongside the distractingly beautiful Pia, hired by my father before his unexpected death to run and restore my family's inn, is a test I could do without. I don't need help, especially from a stranger whose delectable body is inviting me to forget the most important rule of the Bachelor Pact.
I learned early on to avoid attachments, and Pia is completely off-limits. I'm technically her boss. Working together to renovate the crumbling inn, I try to shield my heart and ignore my body's traitorous responses. But Pia's laughter fills the dusty halls, melting my defences and testing my iron-clad resolve. As each day passes, the thought of returning to my old life as a cop in the city and leaving Pia becomes more and more difficult. Now, with my future and an age-old promise on the line, I'm left wondering if I should finally crack open the door to love I sealed so long ago."
