It's been a year since Evvie Drake's husband died, but she still can't leave the house. Her best friend Andy thinks it's because she's grieving, and she does nothing to make him think otherwise.

Dean Tenney was once a sports star. Now he's a former sports star who has lost his ability to throw a ball better than anyone else, and he can't even explain why.

When Dean moves into the apartment at the back of Evvie's house, the two make a deal: Dean won't ask about Evvie's dead husband, and Evvie won't ask about Dean's failed career.

But as Dean and Evvie grow closer, could it be that these rules are the one thing in the way of them starting over?

I absolutely loved EVERY second of this book!

At first, I was won over by the humor. I audibly laughed so many times, and laughing is one of my favorite pastimes. Then, the romance took a hold of me, and I was swooning and smiling and just enjoying watching Evvie finally know what it's like to be properly loved by someone. And, finally there was all the deep emotional stuff. Some of it was really painful, but I was so proud of Evvie and the way she finally conquered her past and starting making her future.

In a word, this book was wonderful!
