As an up-and-coming social media influencer, Sadie Dwyer has had enough of the expectations thrust upon her and is finally ready to start living life on her own terms. Goodbye cushy corporate finance job, goodbye Los Angeles, and hello fresh start. Sort of. Back in her hometown of Seattle, sure, she has her disapproving parents breathing down her neck, but she's also free to explore what truly makes her happy-creating content and helping others. And it just so happens, her first project is closer than she ever expected.
Rhett Morris hadn't envisioned such a ray of sunshine tenant moving into the apartment above his bar-not when he's still haunted by the dark days of his past-and it's clear from the get go that he and Sadie are complete opposites. Like night and day or oil and water. Does his twin brother care about that though? No, not even a little. Soon enough, Sadie is helping the brothers vamp up their bar's presence on social media, forcing the two to become a regular part of each other's lives.
The more time the two spend together, it's clear the walls they've built up around their hearts begin to fall away. But it's hard to know if the connection between them is real, or if it's just the latest trend.

I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.
