Description: Single, lacking cooking skills, and too awkward to function, Isla Matthews is content to spend her nights alone, and her days struggling to keep her cute little flower shop afloat. That is until a super-hot, Australian man shows up naked in her front yard-- her new neighbor, Leo Wayland. An irritating, free spirit with no boundaries, Leo eats her food, uses her hot water, and, worst of all, saunters around shirtless, causing her to have all kinds of inappropriate thoughts about him. But as much as Leo rubs her the wrong way, Isla can't deny that he is filling up her lonely nights with his annoying smirks, making her laugh again, and daring her to change, one day at a time. Maybe, just maybe, Leo Wayland is exactly the smoldering intervention Isla needs to get her life back on track.
