My misguided heart is going to cost me my business.

Once upon a time, I fell for the wrong man, and realized too late he was screwing my wallet rather than me. He's gone and I'm done with giving anyone my heart.

But when my best guy friend gets into a chest thumping contest with a tattooed hottie, and they want me to be the tie-breaking vote about which of them is bigger and better... How's a girl supposed to say no to that? Especially when they're each promising an exciting 'climax' for me to judge?

Two problems: First, I have to look Gage in the eye every day after, and tell myself we're just friends. Second, it turns out Sawyer is a big city billionaire here to buy me out of my small town family hardware store.

Worse, they're both keeping things from me. The kind of things people in a small town love to gossip about. The kind of things that wreck hearts.

It's a good thing I know better than to give mine away again, right?
