Once Bitten Twice Shy

August Adams has an awful track record with love. She's worked very hard to make herself emotionally unavailable. Her life consists of her art, her best friend, and a feral cat named Iris. Until the day Jack Murphy falls into her life. Literally.The new lawn man takes a tumble into the hole in her front yard - the very hole he's there to deal with. This man with his big brown eyes, his muscled forearms, and his quick smile shakes up her safe little world from that very first encounter. Ready or not, here he is. Eager to love her and hoping to be loved in return. So it's all up to August. But can she let go of her past and embrace her future? Or will she remain once bitten, twice shy?
