When he receives a text message from a woman claiming to be his brother's fianc e, nothing short of meeting her will convince him his reclusive older brother has worked up the courage to talk to a woman, let alone propose.

And Daisy knows from experience that when you add massive flirt to good-looking, the result is heartbreak. Meeting Daisy sidetracks Lane's plans, especially when she turns out to be irritatingly immune to his charm. But after being caught with her in a devastating flood, Lane suddenly finds himself reevaluating his approach to everything. Daisy's stubborn determination and unflappable kindness feed his burgeoning desire to be more than a reckless, selfish man, but the last thing Lane needs is to be deemed unworthy by yet another person in his world. Daisy is discovering a depth to Lane she hadn't expected, and with Daisy, Lane finds himself believing he could be a better man. But by the time he figures that out, it might be too late, because she's determined never to play the fool again.
