In a world that’s constantly pushing the next new thing, Annie Reynolds finds beauty and inspiration in the past: history, vintage clothing, and a special love for big band swing music. As caregiver for an aging aunt, Annie finds herself championing a cause to protect Aunt Martha’s home in one of Seattle’s oldest buildings. Billionaire real estate investor Dexter Bolt loves nothing more than a city skyline dotted with cranes—a sign of a booming economy. With his eye on his great-grandfather’s fifteen-story “skyscraper,” Dex is hyped to gut and rebuild it, and he’s not going to let anything stand in his way. Trouble starts when Dexter discovers the elderly woman living in his building and goes head-to-head with her beautiful niece. When an iron-clad lease means his threats don’t work, Dexter takes a different approach to freeing up his building: romancing lovely Annie to his side of the construction line. While Dexter and Annie tour Seattle neighborhoods and beyond, Annie has a secret reason of her own for stalling Dexter’s plans. Will they distract each other long enough to move past their differences, and will a desire to be together prove strong enough to keep them from saying goodbye forever?
