Picture-perfect love only comes along once in a lifetime...right?

Single dad Max Beckett doesn't want anything to do with romance. Been there, done that, still had the emotional scars to prove it. His focus now has to remain on being the best father he can be. And part of that means making sure his little girl's education is top notch. If he has to appeal to the school board to eliminate frivolous classes such as art to improve her core classes, so be it.

Too bad his daughter has other ideas.

As it turns out, she has artistic talent and needs a teacher. She needs Amy Murphy-who just happens to be the sexiest (and most infuriating) free-spirit Max has ever met.

Amy is his opposite in every way. And still, she makes him want things-feel things-he never thought he'd have again. Not since he lost his wife. But when all is said and done, will Max be able to let go of the past and have a future with Amy? Or will happily ever after slip through his fingers once again?
