Bradford "Tully" Tolliver has everything -- money, a beautiful condo, and a promising career as one of Portland's hottest young lawyers. Sure, he puts in long hours and has no social life, but who needs romance when corporations pay top dollar for his expertise? When a colleague asks if her cousin can live with him, he's hesitant, but the arrangement will last less than a year, and then the cousin -- Sage Filling -- will return to his tiny hometown. But Sage is handsome and intriguing, and his cooking makes Tully swoon. Sage has obligations back home, though, and Tully has offers from a persistent -- and very wealthy -- ex that he might not refuse. Tully and Sage each have a full plate, but will they make room for a side of love?
