SADIEI've never made good life choices. I call it being spontaneous, but the truth is, I fail at everything I touch. Bad jobs. Bad roommates. Terrible men.This move from New York City to Jewel Lakes County, NY, is supposed to be a fresh start. Only I don't know anything about opening a vintage clothing store, and the only one willing to help is know-it-all builder Chris Slade. The only thing more annoying than Chris making me plan things out is how much I think about him when he’s not around... moreSADIEI've never made good life choices. I call it being spontaneous, but the truth is, I fail at everything I touch. Bad jobs. Bad roommates. Terrible men.This move from New York City to Jewel Lakes County, NY, is supposed to be a fresh start. Only I don't know anything about opening a vintage clothing store, and the only one willing to help is know-it-all builder Chris Slade. The only thing more annoying than Chris making me plan things out is how much I think about him when he’s not around. And how much I want him when he is.CHRISI'm a simple man. I don't like messes. I don't like talking about myself (ever), and I definitely don't get involved with women—not since I was left at the altar by my long-time girlfriend back home. If I did decide to date again, it couldn't be with someone like Sadie Fulham. Yeah, she's hot and funny and full of life. But she's also a hot mess.Unfortunately, there's no way to avoid Sadie. My best friend is marrying her sister, and our contracting business is doing the renos on her shop. I just wanted to keep my eye on her. So why can’t I take my eyes (or hands) off her?~~~Sadie and Chris couldn’t be more different. Could they teach each other a thing or two about love? Or are they too far apart to ever come together? less
