Joan is one step closer to her dream coming true. With her rent-to-own deal in place, all she needs is a little more money, and she'll be on her way to restoring her dream building and opening her own alteration shop. If it weren't for handsome Ethan Hayes's attempts to spoil her plans, she'd be happy, but he has trouble taking no for an answer.

Ethan Hayes would like nothing more than to buy a set of crumbling buildings in a prime location. With both buildings out of the way, he'd have room to build his new fancy gym. Unfortunately, a feisty and frustratingly beautiful woman, who won't budge, is in his way. It would be easier to back away, but that isn't something he's willing to do. Honestly, if she weren't so stubborn, he might fall for her.
