Except for the days that include Arabella Hartley Thomas. 
 
Beautiful. Stylish. Quirky. And she gets under Rowan’s skin like no other. Sure, they flirt and banter and give each other grief. But now she invades his dreams and makes his heart pound so hard he’s sure she can see it. 
 
When Arabella is able to see every part that he wishes he could hide, he realizes if he let himself, he could fall—hard.
