Unexpected, A Holiday Short

"Of all the places you could have ended up, why are you here? Why didn't you go home?" "This is home. I'd think you would be happy to see me here, establishing a business, putting down roots." "When your roots pull mine out, we have a problem." Leslie Baker, owner of Potter Lake's original hometown beauty shop, the Curl & Dye, has a problem. Her problem isn't her dwindling customer base. And it's not the shifty, shady Mayor of the idyllic lakeside town. Her problem is a muscular, handsome, 6'4" former basketball superstar with a solid physique and colorful sleeve tattoos. Kade "KC" Cavanaugh is back in Potter Lake following his NBA retirement and the business he's opened, a slick and shiny co-ed salon, directly competes with Curl & Dye. KC is all too eager to to pick things up where they left off fifteen years ago, but Leslie can't forget how he pushed her away after an intimate encounter, then dropped out of college and left her behind for the bright lights of professional ball. Though she won't admit it, time and maturity have eaten away at Leslie's anger and her long-buried attraction to Kade Cavanaugh has resurfaced. With a vengeance. Now there is a larger problem: Leslie and KC find themselves in the center of a city wide drama, and with both sides of Potter Lake at war and their livelihoods at stake, the two have to stop sniping at each other and start working together. And maybe, in the process, forget the past and revive a budding romance that was very special...a very long time ago.
