A crush is an intense, often fleeting affection, especially with someone who is out of your grasp.
Darcy Barrett has conducted a worldwide study on males. Having traversed the globe, she can state with absolute certainty that nobody compares to Tom Valeska, whose only shortcoming is that Jamie, Darcy's twin brother, spotted him first and has always regarded him as his greatest friend. Darcy tries her hardest, but Tom is untouchable and 99% devoted to her brother. The issue with discovering her ideal partner at the age of eighteen and reaching her professional zenith at the age of twenty is that she has had to learn to be content with mediocrity ever since.
After receiving a dilapidated home from their grandmother, Darcy and Jamie are given strict orders to restore it to its former splendour and sell the property. When the renovations begin, Darcy intends to be halfway over the ocean in an aisle seat, but before she can flee, she sees a familiar face on her porch: the legendary home flipper. Power tools in hand, Tom has arrived, and for the first time in over ten years, he is single.
Darcy is now thinking about staying behind to make sure her sibling doesn't destroy the cottage's innate enchantment with his taste for chrome and grey. Her new business partner's tight t-shirts and flawless face are motivating her to take up her camera once again, but she is most certainly not staying. Sparks start to fly soon, and the bad wiring isn't the cause. It seems that Darcy may no longer find one percent of Tom's heart sufficient. She is doing things differently this time. She intends to claim Tom Valeska as her own.
