HALLIE

When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his. When I was thirteen, he was my first crush. When I was sixteen, we fell for each other. And when I was nineteen, we broke each other΄s hearts.

Six years later, I΄ve landed an internship with a big-name interior designer in a new city. Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be the one he plays hockey for.

I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I get the surprise of a lifetime and unknowingly move in right next door. Even worse? The renovation project I΄m assigned to in hopes of turning that internship into my full-time dream job... It΄s his house.

But how am I supposed to update his bachelor pad into a family home when we can΄t even stand to be in the same room?

I may have loved Rio DeLuca once, but I΄m not that same girl anymore.

RIO

I never thought I΄d be the only single one left in my friend group. But after years of trying to find love, I΄ve concluded it may not exist for me anymore.

That is, until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and our jaded history has me rewinding memories I΄ve kept secret for years. You see, there΄s something that my friends don΄t know.

That connection I΄ve been looking for since I moved to Chicago, that one person some search their entire lives to find . . . I had already found her when I was twelve years old.

And now the only girl I΄ve ever loved is moving into the house next door. Again.
