Mason Herriot has exactly two priorities: his daughter, and the veterinary practice he's building from the ground up. There's no room in his life for anything else—until Delilah Daniels walks into his clinic mid-crisis, holding a dog that isn't even hers, and he asks her out before he can talk himself out of it.
Delilah doesn't do serious. She's spent her whole life avoiding the kind of ties that come with strings attached, and a single dad with a young daughter and a struggling practice is about as tied-down as it gets. But there's something about Mason's steadiness that she can't quite walk away from.
They agree to keep it casual. The problem is, Mason's not built for casual—and the more time Delilah spends in his world, the more she starts to wonder if the life she's been avoiding might actually be the one she wants.
She's the sun. And he may get burned.
