Maybe it's Mercury in retrograde, maybe it's just not meant to be.
Peyton Doucet's stream of crappy dates and even crappier boyfriends has her pulling a daily tarot card and studying the stars for a sign that love isn't hopeless, and the compatible match for her Gemini twins is out there. She's busy and focused on work and her independence. But after she caught the pineapple at her best friend's wedding, and the sexy best man caught the garter, all the stars-or snowflakes in this case-seem to be aligning.
Jace Shepherd doesn't really have a lot of time for relationships right now. He's training for the Emergency Response Team with his police force, and doesn't want to lead a woman on with promises of more than he can give. He's also Mr. Monogamy, and doesn't do one-night stands.
Peyton seems to understand his drive and busy schedule, accepting him for who he is. It also helps that they're neighbors.
Things seem perfect in their budding, sexy relationship, until a case from Jace's past rears its head, putting Peyton in danger, and challenging their new relationship more than either of them was ready for.
Can this busy couple find the time to make it work, or should they take the threats thrown at them as a sign from the stars that this isn't meant to be?
** While this can be read as a standalone novella, it does follow directly on the heels of Done with You, involving characters were met in Not Over You and Done with You.
