A long lost jade necklace. One chance to find it. And two hearts at risk.

Izzie Davis might be broke but she will never accept charity. Which is a problem, because the cute guy she met visiting Maple Gardens Assisted Living could solve all her financial woes with a click of his fingers. Keeping her mom's fees up to date takes almost all her meagre income but she's seen first-hand what money does to some people. Nothing will change her mind.

Bart Brown inherited more money than he knows what to do with, but the one person he'd love to spend it on happens to be a spitfire who sticks to her principles. The only way she'll date him is if he promises he won't ever spend money on her. His generous heart doesn't quite understand but she is worth the compromise.

When the family heirloom Izzie's been desperate to buy back for her mom is up for auction, Bart wants to change the rules to help her. But will Izzie's principles mean more to her than love? Because suddenly there's more at stake than a necklace.

Opposites do attract and sparks will fly in this sweet contemporary romance with a heartwarming happy ever after.
