One small town, one big prize, one handsome stranger . . .

Returning to her beloved hometown to take care of her father, Jess Reid is resigned to a safe, unremarkable existence . . . until the town's eccentric benefactor, Jasper, dies suddenly and leaves behind the opportunity of a lifetime.

Carter Barclay has been too busy to visit his grandfather recently, but he's heard countless stories about Jasper's town and its zany residents. It's the last place he expects to be spending his summer - but it seems his grandfather had one final trick up his sleeve.

At the funeral, it's revealed that he's devised a massive, high-stakes game, with the winning duo taking home his entire fortune. The catch? He's already taken the liberty of pairing them up. Forced to compete against each other, tensions between Jess and Carter rise as the life-changing prize looms closer and they must decide if they're willing to risk their hearts to change their lives . . .
