Hallie
When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his. When I was sixteen, we fell for each other. And when I was nineteen, we broke each other's hearts. Six years later, I've landed an internship with a big-name interior designer in a new city. Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be the one he plays hockey for. I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I unknowingly move in right next door. Even worse? My new job means I have to renovate his house. I may have loved Rio deLuca once - but I'm not that same girl anymore.

I never thought I'd be the only single one left in my friend group. But after years of trying to find love, I've concluded it may not exist for me anymore. That is, until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and I find myself rewinding memories I've kept secret for years. That connection I've been looking for since I moved to Chicago . . .
I found it when I was twelve years old. And now the only girl I've ever loved is moving into the house next door. Again.
