Grayson Daly and Hazel Matheson have been rivals since birth, and their antagonism has followed them into adulthood. Grayson left Bayshore to escape high school and prove himself to his critical father, building a seven-figure life and a reputation as one of New York’s most desired bachelors. When his beloved Grammy Ethel dies and leaves him one of her Bayshore homes, he returns intending to sell the property quickly.
Hazel is Bayshore’s top realtor with a picture-perfect home and wardrobe, determined to maintain her small-town life and find the soulmate she wants. Grayson’s arrival forces their rivalry back into the open after a history that includes flirtation and fallout, and the tension between them grows more combustible as they collide over the house and their unresolved history.
