My next door neighbor is a serious pain. Parker Jax is covered in tats, rides a motorcycle, and his parties keep me up all night. The fact he’s sexy as sin doesn’t change the fact that he’s definitely not my type. We mix like bike grease and water.

I’m a quiet artist. He’s a rowdy marine. My heart’s been broken. His seems to be missing altogether.

Thankfully, my bad-boy neighbor is on leave from the Marines for only thirty days. But then the jerk has to go and complicate things. Like show me that he has a soft side beneath all those hard muscles and that he’s capable of helping out another human being—like me.

Now I owe Jax a favor. A big one. All I need to do is ride out the rest of the month and hope he never calls it in.

But when a woman shows up with a kid at her side, knocking on Parker’s door, I know that this time, payback’s gonna be deliciously complicated.
