My name is Mari. I'm of average height, average weight, average looks and I hold an average position at Hardy's All Goods, my personal version of retail hell. To sum up, I'm nothing special. So why has Devon Campbell, the city's Most Eligible Bachelor—and my unrequited high-school crush—suddenly crashed back into my life, claiming I'm the one who got away?

Devon can't possibly want to keep me for the long haul, right? My screwed-up past is enough to make anyone run screaming in the opposite direction. Still, he's determined I give him a chance...and I'd be crazy to turn down his offer of a two-week trial.
