I made a mistake buying this house. It needs work, more than I am capable of, and I can’t afford to hire anyone. I figure that I’m screwed… until my neighbor offers me a deal. He’ll do the renovations, if I pretend to be his girlfriend for Thanksgiving with his family.

When my rental house gets condemned, I’m not exactly surprised. I mean, the place was always a dump, but it was all that I could afford. Now I have a problem.

He may just be the answer to my problem… and the man of my dreams.

I need a break. I’ve spent this last year working hard to get my business off the ground and to settle into my new apartment and town. All work and no play though has made me a dull girl. Now I’m looking to change that and I know just how to do it. With Ryder Murray.

Life in a small town can suck. Everyone knows everyone else’s business and it can feel like there are no secrets. I’ve managed to keep one though. I’m in love with Ford Miller.

Now, I just need to convince Ford to go along with it.

Our first meeting is magical. I've never felt that way about anyone before. It was just an instant connection.

Forget Prince Charming. I want my hero in plaid. I’ve always loved Beauty and the Beast. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to my new boss, Remington. He has the scars left over from a bad rodeo accident and the same bear-with-a-thorn-in-his-paw attitude. As I clean his home and help him out around the house, my attraction for him only grows. Sure, he answers most questions in grunts or disgruntled looks, but something about that calls to me.
