Elijah Grove is the absolute worst. And he knows it too. Mainly because I’ve told him so every day since I’ve met him. I wish that I could just avoid him for the rest of my life but that’s hard to do when we live in this small town. I thought that we were on the same page about ignoring each other but then one night he shows up at my bakery and offers me a deal. One that I promptly reject but when he jams his foot in my door and refuses to leave until I hear him out, I relent. He wants me to be his girlfriend. It would be fake, obviously. We just need to make it look good and fool his family so that they don’t try to set him up while they’re in town. In exchange, he’ll help me get my bakery up and running. I would be an idiot to say yes, but there is a lot of work to be done and we’d only have to pretend for a few days. I can handle it. Or I thought that I could, but the more time that I spend around the grumpy giant, the more I start to see that he might not be as bad as I first thought. But this is all just a façade. Isn’t it?

Corrine James is not needed here. I've told her that, or I tried to anyway, but there's just something about the curvy home caregiver that has me biting my tongue. I don't want a live in caregiver though. I don't want anyone to see me struggle, but my brother is worried about me and I know that he'll insist. When I tell her that I don’t need her, she begs me to let her stay. She needs this job and so I cave. That's my first mistake. It’s only meant to be for a few weeks and then she’ll be out of my hair. There’s just one problem. As the weeks go on, I realize that I lied to her and to myself too. I think that maybe I really might just need her. Not as a home caregiver, but as something much more. But I’m damaged goods. She could never be interested in me. Could she?
