TWO RIVALS. ONE PROJECT. THREE DAYS TO BLOW UP THEIR LIVES.
When Ada's tiny vlogger channel, "Pin Up Stichin'' finally takes off, she hopes it will mean success for her hotrod upholstery company. What she doesn't expect is that enigmatic billionaire Big Daddy Boom will hire both her and her professional nemesis to work on a super-secret project.
But Ada can't pass up this opportunity when it means finally "making it" and finally being able to pay down her Pop's ongoing debts. Not even when she realizes the person she'll be working with is her most vocal critic.
Nicola has been in the business of vehicle restoration for a long time and between his obsession with perfecting his craft and his family issues, he hasn't had much time for anything else. When he's offered the chance to get ahead in business and also work with a woman whose work he admires -- even if he expresses that through online critique -- he's in.
Until one huge mix-up leaves them stranded in the woods together with the project on the line and two huge personalities in the way. Ada sparks all kinds of emotions in Nicola -- including some he's never felt before.
Suddenly, this project -- and maybe even the state of California -- don't seem big enough for the both of them, and what seemed like explosive online content might just be explosive. Period.
This adorable and slightly ridiculous romantic comedy is perfect for lovers of steamy rivals to lovers romance, fake marriage tropes, and for fans of Emily Henry, Christina Lauren and Ali Hazelwood!
