Ripley is perfectly happy running her quiet lavender farm until her identical twin sister, a famous actress, brings a Hollywood film crew to town. Because of the chaos and paparazzi, Ripley is assigned a personal bodyguard—whether she wants one or not.
The twist? Her new protector is Banks, the broody, tattooed man she had a steamy almost-one-night stand with a month ago. He disappeared before things could get serious, and now he is living in her one-bedroom cottage.
As Banks protects Ripley from relentless photographers, the forced proximity and shared space make it impossible to ignore their intense chemistry. What starts as a “business only” arrangement quickly melts into late-night secrets and a summer romance. They both know Banks eventually has to leave, but as their emotional walls come down, they must decide if their connection is just a temporary “good idea” or a love worth fighting for.
