"I'm no Mr. Perfect... but for Noah, I want to be."

It was just supposed to be a normal day at the Spruce crafts festival.
Instead, I accidentally save the life of my childhood crush Noah Reed.
And he has no idea how I feel at all.

He is adorable, tragically introverted, and frustratingly clueless about emotion.
Can't he see the longing in my eyes every time I look at his sweet face?
Doesn't he get it when I drop every dang sign there is under the Texas sun
that I have feelings for the guy?

To make matters worse, the mayor is organizing a pageant
featuring our town's hottest bachelors... and I'm number one on the list.

But I’m not interested in any other guys.
I’m seeing the bigger picture — with Noah.

I’m hardly an example of perfection. I'm no Mr. Perfect.
But I’d better find a way to tell Noah how I feel soon
before this whole thing gets out of hand.
If it hasn't already...
