He might be the hottest teacher in town but even Noah Redmond can't convince me to date a small-town guy.The last thing I want is to put my awesome career on pause while I run my dad's hardware store, but duty calls so what am I supposed to do? I can't wait to get out of Creekville again, and I'm doing great keeping everyone at arm's length until my best friend tries to set me up with the hot new high school coach. He's got me literally tripping over my own feet, but I'm not giving in to those dimples.I'm burnt out on love, but Grace Winters is the funniest - and most attractive - woman I've ever met .Too bad Creekville is just a detour for her. I get it. But when I recruit her to help me build a Christmas booth for the town's biggest event of the year, I learn just how irresistible she is. And if that's not bad enough, when I talk her into fake dating to convince my boss I'm ready for a promotion, we share an unplanned kiss that blurs every line we've drawn.Is Grace and Noah's undeniable chemistry worth risking their friendship when their future is anything but certain?
