All this plumber wants is a crack at romance.

Meet Josie:

My friend was supposed to refer me to a plumber. Instead, she sends a Hugh Jackman lookalike to my bridal boutique. Leather jacket, snug jeans, and a motorcycle—what a sight! It's almost enough to make me forget about my nearly-doomed grand opening. Especially when I realize that Graham, my childhood crush, is the one standing before me.

Enter Graham:

Yes, it's true that Josie once proposed marriage to me when she was just twelve. But thirty years have passed, and we're both grown-ups now. She's single, stunning, and definitely not the type to fall for a plumber. But that doesn't stop me from wanting to change her mind.

More from Josie:

The last thing my delicate heart needs right now is a blast from the past that leaves me flustered and blushing. Who would've thought that Graham still remembers my childhood proposal? Even crazier? He says that if I asked him to marry me today, he'd say yes!

Back to Graham:

Wooing clients isn't usually part of my services, but when it comes to Josie, love might not be just a pipe dream after all. Yet proving to her that I'm the real deal is shaping up to be the most challenging job of all. Especially if I can't fix her leaky toilet in time!
