He needed a quiet place to stay. He got her instead.
 
Daisy:
I’m in trouble. 
I’m scrambling to pay my bills and keep my grandmother’s house from being taken by the bank. 
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and now I’m desperate. 
So, I make a post advertising for a roommate.
None of the people who contact me seem like a good fit. 
Until Ledger. 
 
Ledger:
As a Navy SEAL, I’m used to order, discipline, and solitude. 
I love it. I crave it. 
And so that’s what I’m hoping to find in a roommate. 
There are no houses or apartments for rent in Wolf Valley, not for the sporadic days that I’ll be there. 
So, I start scouring listings looking for a roommate, and I think that I’ve really lucked out when I see Daisy’s post. 
Then I meet her. 
Daisy is my opposite in every way. 
She’s sunshine in yoga pants, with a rescue dog, a houseplant addiction, and a tendency to hum to herself nonstop.
She’s the opposite of what I thought I was looking for, but the more time that I spend with her, the more I start to fall for her, and it doesn’t take me long to realize I might be in more trouble than any mission I’ve ever faced. 
Living with Daisy feels less like a temporary arrangement… And more like home.
