Cate
Harmon likes lists. While this may serve her well as a financial planner, her
girlfriends think that creating a checklist for her ideal man is going a step
too far. But she has one, and she’s sticking to it.
Cate
has always dreamed of starting a family and settling down and yet she’s the
only one of her close knit friendship group still unattached. But that doesn’t
mean she’s going to lower her standards.
Enter
Dave, a reformed bad boy with gorgeous hair and eyes the wrong color. Dave
doesn’t tick any of the boxes on Cate’s list. It’s unthinkable that she would
develop feelings for him, and yet … Cate finds herself being drawn to Dave in a
way she’s never felt before.
Will
Cate confront the reasons behind her list? Or will she risk losing a man who
could be better than any list she could ever dream up?
This romance where opposites attract is perfect
for fans of Rachel Gibson, Susan Mallery, Victoria Dahl, and Susan Elizabeth
Phillips.

I heard
a low whistle, and realized I’d been staring at Dave’s backside while he
retreated. I looked in the direction of the whistle.
Scarlett’s
eyebrows were raised in appreciation and she was focused on Dave, not me. “Is
that your plumber?”
“That’s
my plumber.”
“Nice.”
She sat down in the seat next to me. “Did you get his number?”
“Scarlett!”
“Oh
right. You already have his number. He’s your plumber. Well, that makes it
easy.”
“Easy?
I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I saw
you staring at his butt. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
“He’s
my plumber!” I protested.
“So?
It’s not like a doctor-patient confidentiality thing. He’s looked at your
drains. Big deal.”
“But—”
“But?”
Scarlett crossed her arms and gave me a stern look.
I
blinked, flustered. “He’s my plumber.”
“Yes,
Cate. He’s your plumber. What’s the problem?”
“He’s
not my type,” I said quietly.
Scarlett
leaned in, arms still crossed, and waited until I met her dark eyes. “He’s not
on your list, is he?”
“I
don’t know what you’re talking about,” I shot back, alarmed.
“You
know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re very specific about your type.”
“So?” I
wasn’t going to go the effort to deny it. Scarlett could be exhausting when she
put her mind to something.
She
eased back into her seat and uncrossed her arms, satisfied with my reluctant
honesty. “Maybe you could loosen up a bit.”
“And go
out with a plumber?” I said, not trying to hide the disbelief in my voice.
Scarlett
placed her hands on her cheeks in mock shock. “Oh my God. He uses his hands for
living. How uncouth.” Her expression turned sly. “In my experience, men who are
good with their hands are good in other areas.”
“Scarlett!
What would John think?”
She
snickered shamelessly. “He doesn’t care, because he knows I eat at home.”
I shut
my mouth, silenced once again by my friend’s brazenness.
She
shrugged. “Seriously. He was hot.”
“There’s
a lot more to a successful and rewarding relationship than chemistry,” I
replied primly.
She
grinned at me. “Chemistry is a good place to start though.”
“Fine.
Chemistry is important,” I allowed, “but there’s still a lot more to it than
that.”
“And
I’m sure you’ve got it listed and color-coded in a spreadsheet somewhere, don’t
you?”
