Blakely Mayfield, a perfectionist event planner, finds herself in a predicament when a food poisoning debacle jeopardizes her career. Battling negative press and her business partner's suggestion to take a sabbatical, Blakely doesn't hesitate when her best friend offers her a mountain retreat in the idyllic town of Greyson Gap, North Carolina.

Urged by her therapist to step out of her comfort zone, Blakely quickly realizes that the fresh mountain air, chore charts, and her unexpected housemate, Tucker Greyson, might not be the quick fix for her bruised ego. Blakely finds herself caught between a surreal episode of The Bachelor orchestrated by the Greyson Gap Golden Girls and her hunky housemate's proposition of a friends-with-benefits arrangement. However, she discovers an unexpected appreciation for the simpler life – camping, fishing, and wearing hiking boots – and the possibility of falling in love.

Tucker Greyson, a former baseball star, prefers the solitude of the small mountain town where he grew up. The last thing he needs is a high-strung, cleanliness-obsessed roommate for the summer. He devises a plan to drive Blakely's perfectionist tendencies into overdrive and out of his house. But to his surprise, he finds himself falling for her.

Determined to keep his heart uninvolved, Tucker tells himself to maintain a casual arrangement. However, when Blakely is called back to her old life, he realizes he has more to lose than just a summer roommate.

The story follows Blakely's journey of self-discovery as she navigates the charming town of Greyson Gap, the eccentric Greyson Gap Golden Girls, and her growing attraction to the rugged and enigmatic Tucker. As they both confront their preconceptions and learn to embrace the unexpected, they discover the power of letting go and the possibility of finding love in the most unlikely of places.
