Leslie's Curl & Dye

A business rivalry reveals a longing for a second chance at love and a fight for the affections of a slow, southern town.

Leslie Baker has a tall, dark, and handsome problem.

Back in Potter Lake, she's rebuilt her life around her hometown beauty shop, The Curl & Dye. Kade "KC" Cavanaugh, her college sweetheart, is back too—running Guys & Dolls, the family salon across town. What should have been a reunion of old flames turns into a rivalry, as the two battle not just for customers, but for the heart of a slow, Southern town caught in a power struggle.

Before Leslie and KC can rekindle what they once had, they'll have to fight side by side to save their livelihoods, their community, and a love that's been smoldering for more than a decade.
