Nova Porter has her hands full preparing to open her tattoo studio in Inglewild. She doesn't need the distraction of Charlie Milford, an investment banker whose three-piece suits and polished manners clash with everything she represents. Yet Charlie keeps showing up to help her business, and Nova finds herself drawn to his unexpected charm. Determined to break free from this inconvenient attraction, Nova suggests they spend one night together and move on. No complications, no strings attached. They'll satisfy their curiosity and return to their separate worlds. But their night together ignites something neither expected. Charlie is now running Lovelight Farms temporarily, which means he's staying in town longer than planned. Nova can't escape him, and Charlie has decided she's worth pursuing. He sees potential in what they could build together, but Nova must decide if she's ready to risk her carefully controlled life for something real.
