With grad school under my belt I'm ready to start the next chapter of my life. San Francisco is a brand new city. I have an amazing apartment, a new job, family, and friends to keep me occupied. Life in the city will be easy. Keep my head down, don't break any of the ridiculous rules in my lease agreement, get my best friend through her nasty relationship drama, and stick to my five year plan. I've got this. Or at least I would if I could figure out why my heart skips a beat every time I see my hot neighbor.

San Francisco attorney Cecily Chang is ready to tackle the New Year head on, so she creates a list of resolutions guaranteed to reboot her life—right after her dutiful visit home to Sunset Park, Brooklyn, for the Lunar New Year. Cecily prepares to face her critical, meddling mother, nosy relatives, and the chaos and drama family togetherness brings. At least the food will be delicious. This holiday, Cecily vows to remain calm—as long as she doesn’t see him.

I have everything I need in San Francisco. A stable job, friends, and a beautiful Victorian house to come home to every night. My roommate, Drew, and I even made our rent on time every month this year. Life is perfectly fine. At least until I met him.

Subleasing my best friend's Bay Area apartment came at the perfect time—an easy way to escape memories of a broken engagement and start fresh. She promised the list of outrageous rules I agreed to were nothing to worry about. Then the elusive landlord appeared next door and everything changed. Hotter than hell soccer superstar, Ryland Bates. He turns me on with his muscles and take charge attitude. Too bad every time he opens his mouth I want to shove the list of rules down his throat. Aspen ran off with her prince charming and left me to slay the dragon.

It should have been a peaceful holiday spent alone in my apartment watching bad television. But life rarely works out the way it should. After witnessing a shooting I'm forced between telling the truth or keeping a friend out of trouble. Keeping up the lie is difficult, especially with my new gorgeous bodyguard living in my tiny space.
