Simon I existed day-to-day in the most boring life. My days were consumed by work and my brother's kids. I lived with my mother because I never had a compelling reason to move out. I was stuck in a rut, knowing I had to move forward but having no idea how. As a successful web designer, image was my life. I made people look good for a living. I presented the perfect picture to the world and had the flawless impression of the woman of my dreams in my mind, but I hadn't found her yet. Little did I know she was waiting for me in a little town in New Hampshire called Grayson Falls. She had messy hair, grease-stained fingers, and chunky glasses that always sat askew on her face. She was a hot mess, but I knew the first moment I met her she was mine. Maggie I had an unconventional upbringing. My brother and I grew up in an RV, touring around the country with stock car racing.

I had never been in a real relationship before but when he offered to help me realize my dream, I was all in. And then the bottom fell out beneath us.

The best friends are also real estate investors who have refused to take no for an answer for several months now. I loathe their persistence at the negotiating table, but I love it in the bedroom. This time, I can't have my cake and eat it too. They're not backing down from their pursuit to drive me out of the company I built from the ground up, so it's time to back off the sex. They're not stealing my heart or my business out from...
