A feel-good, opposites-attract, slow-burn romantic comedy with a mystery After ten years of waitressing and my parents telling me to find a real job, I finally have a chance to break out as an artist—my artwork is selected for the career-defining Vertex Art Show. But then my painting is stolen. I have mere weeks to find it or lose my artist dream forever—but it’s going to mean working with William. William Matsumura. Good-looking, if you like the Secret Service type. You know, law-abiding, protector of women and children. That’s all fine, but I can never tell what he’s thinking. Which drives me crazy. He insists on coming along to do “damage control.” As if “accidentally” wandering into certain areas is “breaking and entering.” I may be an emotional artist, but William shouldn’t dismiss my investigative skills yet. William is definitely my opposite, and if there’s one takeaway from my parents’ divorce, it’s that opposites might attract, but it doesn’t last. But detecting with William is kind of fun—and fluttery. I definitely can’t trust these feelings, or can I? Time is running out—both to recover my painting and to persuade William that we’re perfect for each other.
