Hope Warren doesn't do happily-ever-after. Or optimism in general. After a breakup that shredded her self-esteem, and earning a so-far-useless art degree, the only thing she's (barely) living for is a dream home way out of reach. So when outgoing Irishman Dylan Healy keeps getting in her face, she's sure there's a catch. He's challenging her idle creativity. He's as kind as he is charismatic. And he's sparking a hunger Hope didn't know she had. Suddenly she's willing to try everything and anything--especially Dylan himself.

Dylan has enough on his plate between launching his online greeting card company and starting an art-themed daycare center. But he can't resist teasing Hope out of her cynical shell, turning her ideas into crazy-profitable success--or wanting more of the vibrant, sensual woman she truly is. Now he's willing to put everything on the line to convince her that what's between them is not only real, but worth a lifetime of dreams. . .
