Overview

Take one small town, add a dash of feuding business owners and a sprinkle of nosy neighbors...

Owen
By ten a.m. Owen Green had seen his dream of expanding his grandfather’s hardware store dashed. By one, his car had been impounded off the street. By midnight, Owen’s personal space had been invaded by an angry, wet bookseller with hot blue eyes and an armful of natty first editions.

Coop
Returning to the small town where he spent a fateful summer as a child probably seemed crazy to an outsider. But to Coop, it felt a lot like coming home. By ten a.m. he had a new lease on his grandfather’s bookstore. By one, he had managed to make his first enemy. And by midnight, he knew without a doubt that the handsome hardware store owner next door was going to put a dent in his plans for a peaceful new life.
