He falls first / Jill Shalvis.

Shalvis, Jill, (author.).

Summary:

"No one is going to convince her to fall in love again ... Ryder Colburn has his hands full running the family business and caring for the ailing father who's a virtual stranger from the cold, heavy-handed man he used to be. He's got zero free time for hobbies or women. Or so he thinks until one walks into his life ... and the path of an oncoming truck. Ryder doesn't mind playing the hero for the skittish, wounded chef Penny Rose. Maybe it's the secrets in her eyes or the bandage along her jaw. Whatever the reason, he's compelled to get closer. Penny's learned her lesson and now she's paying the price. That's why she's sharing a dilapidated house in a tiny California town with her feisty grandmother and tween brother living off the leftovers from her catering job. It's a far cry from her dream life. But who needs dreams ... or love ... or sex ... when there's amateur plumbing projects to tackle and breakfast casseroles to bake? One thing's for sure, she's never falling for a man again. Not even the sexy, snarky contractor who keeps testing the walls she's built"-- Provided by publisher.

    "The perfect escape! You'll fall for He Falls First!" —Lucy Score, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    No one is going to convince her to fall in love again...

    Penny Rose has learned her lesson and now she's paying the price. That's why she's sharing a dilapidated house in a tiny California town with her feisty grandmother and tween brother living off the leftovers from her catering job. It's a far cry from her dream life. But who needs dreams… or love… or sex when there's amateur plumbing projects to tackle and breakfast casseroles to bake?

    One thing's for sure, she's never falling in love again. Not even with the sexy, snarky contractor who keeps testing the walls she's built.

    Ryder Colburn has his hands full running the family business and caring for the ailing father who's a virtual stranger from the cold, heavy-handed man he used to be. He's got zero free time for hobbies or women. Or so he thinks until one walks into his life… and the path of an oncoming car.

    Ryder doesn't mind playing the hero for the skittish, independent woman. Maybe it's the secrets in her eyes or the scar on her chin. Whatever the reason, he's compelled to get closer.
