Leslie Baker, owner of Potter Lake's original hometown beauty shop, the Curl & Dye, has a muscular, handsome, 6'4" problem. Her college sweetheart, former basketball superstar Kade "KC" Cavanaugh, is back in Potter Lake following his NBA retirement, and the slick and shiny co-ed salon that he's opened directly competes with Curl & Dye.
KC is eager to pick things up where the former lovers left off so many years ago, but Leslie can't forget how he pushed her away after an intimate encounter, then dropped out, and left her behind for the bright lights of professional ball.
When the two sides of Potter Lake go to war, Leslie and KC are caught in the middle of a city-wide drama. With both livelihoods at stake, the time has come to stop snipping at each other and work together.
And maybe, in the process, fan the flames of a love that could burn hot again.
