author: Siegrist, Amanda
description: Life is good. Austin misses his brother Jimmy, but he still has his brother Zane...and Ava, who constantly meddles in his love life. Or lack thereof. He just wants fun and a woman to keep his bed warm. He doesn't need love, nor want it. He tried love once, the pain still fresh in his heart. Why can't Ava understand that and leave him alone? He does the only thing he can think of. He moves out to get some space, some fresh air. Life finally feels free. Sophie Greene needs her new life to get better, not stay on the path of pain and destruction. Her hopes are dashed when the first person she meets scares her to the bones-Austin. And he lives right next door to her. Maybe life isn't going to get better. Austin's puzzled by his new neighbor. Her skittish behavior, her refusal to accept any of his offering's of help. He's just being neighborly. He would never dabble with his neighbor. Never  Except the temptation overwhelms him every time he sees her beautiful angelic face. He wants her and he can't deny it. But does he want to fall in love? Does he want to risk the chance of feeling pain if she doesn't love him back? How can he even try when she constantly takes two steps back when he steps near her?
