It was only a kiss. Then the honey got involved.

Apparently, people don't just outgrow their crush on their brother's best friend. Dean Welker had always been out of Gemma Clayton's league. Until the rodeo cowboy asked to kiss her.

Returning to the small mountain town of Marshall, North Carolina hadn't been high on Dean's priority list. After inheriting his grandmother's farm and sustaining a career-ending injury, what else did he have to do?

Bees weren't the only thing buzzing in the old, dilapidated barn since his homecoming. It'd been seventeen years since he'd last seen Gemma, and damn, she'd grown into a fine-looking woman. Too bad she was off-limits.

But what her brother doesn't know won't hurt him, right?
