Genesis has had bad experiences with men who lie. Being humiliated on a reality show is unforgivable to her. But now the man who broke her heart, Rafe shows up in her small town in Iowa. She's rented the gatehouse on her farm for 1 year to prove to her that he is sincere in wanting to be with her.
He's also throwing money around the town and making everyone like him. His bodyguards have paid for a year in advance at a struggling bed and breakfast. He bought every book on the library's wish list. He's building sets for the school play. He opened an office in town and hired struggling workers. Genesis isn't falling for it though. She knows she can't trust him.
I loved this whole series. I like how the author wove no kissing rules into each story in different ways. That means that the romance is actually based on talking and doing things for each other instead of just falling into bed with each other. It makes it different from other books.
