A Story by Hayley Summers
Chelsea poured her heart and soul into her beauty shop. Now she’s close to losing it.
With her landlord selling and uncertainty in the air, Chelsea faces the possibility of the quiet, cozy life she’s built being turned on its head.
Grant is a big-city reporter who’s desperate to save an old friend’s floundering newspaper—and what better way to uncover town gossip than chatting at the local salon. After three failed relationships, Grant has accepted that he’s married to his job. But the moment he sets eyes on Chelsea, he knows she has a story to tell.
Sparks quickly begin to fly... even if those sparks threaten to burn everything around them. Chelsea thinks Grant is a money-obsessed bore—but the last place she wants to appear is in the town tabloids. And when her landlord drops by with a shocking announcement, her day goes from bad to worse.
Uncertain of how much days she has left to save her business, can Chelsea pull off the impossible? And can she and Grant put aside their differences long enough to give each other a chance?
