For Harper Delaney, moving back to her claustrophobically small hometown is about as appealing as two week old sushi. But, the newly certified elementary school teacher has an empty bank account and mountain of student loan debt. The allure of free rent and a guaranteed summer job are undeniable.

On the hunt for her dream job in San Francisco, Harper just needs to survive the summer without murdering Elijah Monroe. He may have grown into a scorchingly hot fireman, but he's still her nemesis. Harper gave Elijah her heart when she was sixteen, and never forgave the jerk for not wanting it. Probably for the best, since he's also her stepbrother.

Elijah still makes Harper's blood boil and heart race. And he knows it. She'll wipe that smug smirk off his gorgeous face before leaving town. The only question is if she wants to do it with a kiss or a slap.

Truce? is a 160-paged short novel with no cliffhangers, no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed. It is a small town, enemies-to-lovers, step-sibling romantic comedy.

Warning: This book is high on the steamy index and contains an open door sex scene. It is not for the faint of heart or those who blush easily.
