Veronica Rubio can spot a hot mess a mile away. But having to having to deal with one - much less work for one - isn't exactly at the top of her wishlist. So, when the trainwreck known as George Moore steamrolls into her life, she wants to run as far away as possible . . . if it wasn't for the huge commission cheque she could make selling off his house. Veronica is determined to keep things professional, but when the man with more gold medals than anyone else in the world needs help, she soon finds that it's not as easy to leave him to figure things out on his own as she first thought. Especially not when he's so nice to her grandma - and her brothers.
