Autumn wants the house, but Elijah wants her.

Autumn Adler, a famous concert pianist, is making her solo comeback to the stage after a tragic accident, and she can't afford any distractions. Of all the things that could go wrong, she never expected her landlord to rent out the ground floor of her home to Elijah Wells - a game designer in the midst of building his own company. Autumn loves her townhouse, and she refuses to give it up. However, Elijah is equally stubborn. As the days pass, Autumn's efforts to make him leave only further his desire to win her over. It seems as though neither can win this battle of wills.

Yet as Autumn's showcase approaches, a seemingly innocent gift turns into something far more alarming. Can the two call a truce and figure out what's going on?

One house, two strangers, and a dark secret. What could go wrong?
