Savannah Snow has made peace with living her love life between the pages of her novels. Real romance? Too messy, too risky, and far more likely to end in heartbreak. Writing swoon worthy happily-ever-afters is much safer.
But when matchmaker Cynthia Erickson, on the brink of retirement, offers her an impossible deal- ten million dollars and a gorgeous home tucked away in Washington's Chinook Pass- Savannah learns there's a catch. She has to share the house for one year with Cynthia's other final project: Jesse Rhodes, the brooding bassist of Kings of Cyprus, a band with a pop-punk edge and a mythology inspired stage persona... And a man just as burned by love as she is.
For Cynthia, it's her ultimate matchmaking challenge and her swan song. For Savannah and Jesse, it's a chance to quietly enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime arrangement, as long as they keep their distance.
But in the quiet of the mountains, between late night conversations, unexpected laughter, and the pull of a melody neither can ignore, the lines between make believe and reality blur. And soon, keeping their hearts out of the story might be the hardest deal they've ever made.
