He's everything I never wanted...

When people ask me what I love about living in the Pacific Northwest, that's easy. Nothing.

But the mountain of debt my ex saddled me with means I'm not going anywhere. So I started a food blog thinking it'd be my ticket out of here. Wrong.

Just when I think things couldn't get any worse, my roommate drags me to a singles event where she hopes to meet Mr. Right. I meet Mr. Wrong, Dustin Kelley, a diehard Pacific Northwesterner. We couldn't be more different if we tried.

But when I learn he runs a successful hiking blog, I get an idea. We can collaborate. The plan? He gets five tries to make me fall in love with this region while I create recipes and food for our trips.

Turns out, Dustin is the sweetest guy I've ever met and he quickly becomes my ray of sunshine in this otherwise gloomy place. But falling in love was never part of the plan, so when my blog finally takes off giving me enough money to move, I'm left with a tough choice—stay or go?
