When a fashion CEO fires the contractor of her new boutique, he offers to do anything to keep the deal, even if that means becoming her housekeeper. But their arrangement gets messy when they uncover a corporate betrayal and undeniable chemistry. ~~~~~ At eighteen, Avery Green's viral side hustle made her rich. At twenty-four, it has made her exhausted. Behind her enviable lifestyle lies grief she'd rather ignore and a longing for the California beaches she left behind. The only thing keeping her from walking away from her multimillion-dollar fashion company is her late mother's dream: opening a surf-shack-inspired boutique in New York City. Darren Webber needs a career-defining project to prove his design firm can survive without the reputation of his powerful father. Landing the deal with Avery's brand could save his company and his pride. Unfortunately a disastrous morning encounter leaves Avery soaked in muddy water and Darren covered in coffee. Both take solace in the fact that they'll never see each other again until Darren walks into Avery's conference room as the contractor for her boutique. Their meetings quickly devolve into petty insults and slammed doors. When Avery finally fires him mid-project, Darren offers to do anything to keep the deal alive. Even if it means becoming Avery's housekeeper. This new arrangement leads them to discover that they have more in common than just fiery tempers. But when a devastating deception leaves Avery with no one to trust but Darren, she'll have to choose between fighting for everything she's ever built or walking away from a life she never really wanted.
