Career? Yes. Romance? Most definitely. Children? Absolutely not.

Leisa Domaine is determined to live her life without children underfoot. It isn't that she doesn't like children, she just dreams of creating a serene and peaceful life for herself, as far removed from the chaos of her childhood as possible.

As she renovates her new home in Washington State's scenic San Juan Islands, Leisa realizes she's updating far more than her house. She's reshaping her entire life, creating the calm haven she's always dreamed of.

But Leisa's plans hadn't taken into account meeting Jared, an unnervingly handsome man, who is caring for his nine-year-old nephew Robbie. Jared refuses to believe that an adventurous fun-filled woman like Leisa will be content with what he calls the "beige, neutral life" she has planned.

Can Jared's persistent, overwhelming charm persuade Leisa to completely remodel her plans for the future?
