Small-town romance—opposites-attract hero and heroine forced into an unlikely partnership discover they have far more in common than either expected, blending workplace tension, second-chance sparks, slow-burn attraction, and the kind of small-town charm that makes everything more complicated.

She thinks they're opposites. He's starting to see how wrong she is.

HE HAS A JOB TO DO. Lucky Howard is one of Misty Mountain's top developers, and he doesn't let anything slow him down. The dinner theater needs a complete overhaul. The owner agreed. He has a timeline, a crew, and a plan. What he didn't plan for was her.

SHE'S NOT MAKING THIS EASY. Misty Mountain Music is more than a job to Jordan Strongblossom. It's hers—every detail, every performance, every piece of what makes it matter to this town. Now the owner has brought in a developer to change all of it. And she's supposed to help him. She doesn't have to like it.

TOGETHER, THEY DIDN'T EXPECT THIS.

The town has opinions. Loud ones. And now Lucky and Jordan are on the same side of a battle neither of them saw coming—fighting for a timeline while the whole community pushes back.

It would be easier if Jordan didn't remember that kiss.

The one from years ago. The one she told herself meant nothing.

The one getting harder to forget the more time they spend together.

Because the more they argue, the more they agree. And somewhere between protests, deadlines, and quiet moments neither planned for, something neither of them expected starts to take hold.
