When fear is the gatekeeper, can love still slip through? Autumn Donnelly vowed never to date until her children were grown. But when her a well-meaning friend pushes her into online dating, she reluctantly agrees. But only if her neighbor Chase Worthington signs up too. It's only a little harmless socializing. Right? Chase has been quietly in love with Autumn for months, and this dating challenge offers a chance to shield her from players and predators. He'll endure awkward meetups and flirty strangers if it means keeping an eye on the woman who's come to mean so much more than a friend. But as they navigate the hilarious disasters of modern dating together, Chase faces a choice: can he keep protecting her heart even if it can never be his?
