Ashton Garrison walked away from a privileged life in order to hide from the one thing she's not willing to face. She knows she left behind a trail of pain, but in the long run, her betrayal will hurt less than the truth. She now has one goal: Live life to the fullest with no regrets and no attachments. She has high hopes that a move to new surroundings will provide the escape she desires, but what Ashton doesn't count on is how fate always seems to find a way to screw up any good plan. Sometimes, when love comes knocking, the pull is too strong not to answer. Suddenly, what she thought she wanted to escape from is what Ashton now wants more than anything.

Nathan Lockton has one mission: find his target and complete the task he was hired to do—no attachments and no emotion necessary. He's done it over and over again. What he thought was a typical lost-and-found job has turned into a life examining moment as Nathan is forced to deal with something he has always ignored--his feelings. Now faced with a decision, Nathan must choose to either follow his heart or complete the job.

Love can come when you least expect it. The question is: If the odds are stacked against you, how far are you willing to go for the one you love?

No Attachments is a story about Ashton Garrison. A young woman who has run away from a privileged life in FL and everyone she has ever known to live in a sleepy little town called Woodfalls. She has created a bucket list for herself and has made a few friends. Ashton is determined to live life without regrets and attachments after she arrives in Woodfalls, knowing full well that one day her past will catch up with her and she will have to answer for running away.

Ashton is determined to scratch one more item off her bucket list ... to have a one night stand with a stranger. Well naturally living in a small town, it's hard to come by handsome strangers looking for a good time. In walks our hunky hero, Nathan Lockton. Nathan catches Ashton's eye one night while she is out at the local townie bar with her friends. All Ashton needs now is a little liquid courage to get her to make her move and Nathan is all too happy to help her out in the drink department. Unfortunately Ashton ends up drinking herself into the worst hangover she has ever had in her life and her night ends without successfully scratching an item off her list and now has to face seeing Nathan again after making a complete fool out of herself.

I can't say much more about the story without giving it away but here is what I can tell you. The story that Tiffany King has written is absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful. It starts off with a comedy of errors between Ashton and Nathan but quickly morphs into a touching, ultra romantic story between two people who definitely deserve to be happy but have for too long tried to have no attachments to members of the opposite sex. There are good times and bad times. Fun moments and then moments where your heart just can't take the pain anymore. I laughed, I cried and I grinned like the Cheshire cat. I love getting to read books by authors I've never had the privilege of reading before and Tiffany King is no exception here. This story was exceptional and I can't wait to see what she writes next.
