I don’t trust people who smile constantly. It's unnatural. Kai Whitaker is aggressively cheerful. He’s the human embodiment of a golden retriever and entirely too wholesome for my liking.

I can’t help but taunt him every time we run into each other which — spoiler alert — constantly happens since he’s my new neighbor. But there’s layers to Kai, a side of him that’s taking me by surprise and intriguing me enough to offer him a deal.

No strings, no feelings, just temporary fun.

He’s only here for a year before heading back to Australia. A built-in expiration date? Perfect.
I’m still picking up the pieces after my life imploded and I can’t use any distractions, much less in the form of a man.

This is fine.
Totally fine.
There's no way this will backfire.

... Right?
