Tucker and Lacey OMG, I loved these two. The proverbial playboy takes a step back from his one-night stand life after he loses a rescue to a flash flood. Focusing on work is the only thing keeping him from spinning out of control. Enter Lacey, who seems to be the female version of what he used to be. Meeting her makes him feel desire for the first time in months and it looks like one night is never going to be enough. Not with her. But she hides behind layers and learning that Tucker made a bet to get her into bed without telling her who he is, makes her retreat even further.

When her brother needs help, Tucker is front and center, helping however he can, taking initiative she would never expect. Somehow they both learn to look beyond their pasts and allow themselves to just love and be there for each other.
