When a Manhattan literary agent gets stranded in small-town Pennsylvania, broke and desperate to rebuild her career, the last thing she needs is her landlord—a seriously sexy farmer with an five-year plan and a heart full of hope for the future. But when Zoey and Gage strike a deal for one night of pure escape after his world falls apart, they discover that the person you're least compatible with on paper might be exactly who you need. With Lucy Score's signature charm, this is a story about how the best relationships often blindside us, proving that sometimes the most unexpected connections are the ones that matter most.
Reading soundtrack
Sensual indie-pop and sultry R&B for forbidden attraction in small-town America—tension, heat, and unexpected vulnerability. Think Hozier's raw intensity, SZA's seduction, and Leon Bridges' smoldering soul. Acoustic moments of doubt give way to electric desire.
