From New York Times bestselling author Marina Adair comes a laugh-out-loud, witty and sexy friends to lovers romantic comedy that fans of Jill Shalvis, Sarah Morgan, and Christina Lauren will adore.

The day Jillian Conner caught her husband smearing her award-winning frosting on his mistress’s cupcakes was the day she adopted her man-free diet. Including the insatiable flirt who is renting the summerhouse next door. So when her too-sexy-for-words neighbor decides to take a midnight swim—in nothing but his tanned and muscled glory—Jillian tells herself there’s no harm in looking, as long as she doesn’t sample. Because this single girl in the city—a local cupcake goddess, who just received an order for a seven-tier wedding cake—already has her hands full. Another set of ovens, she needs—skinny dipping with the most notorious player in the NFL, she does not. She could use another set of ovens—but skinny dipping with the most notorious player in the NFL is a bad move.

Except, his distraction-free plan has one snag: the sexy single-mom next-door who watches him from her kitchen window. Before long, Clay can’t help but wonder where all that watching will lead. After all, he’s never been good with sitting on the sidelines…
