The Renovation on Hollyhock Hill
(2025)(The fourth book in the Autumn Lake Romance series)
A novel by Becky Doughty
Miss Sunshine meets Mr. Grumpy in this heartwarming story of renovation, redemption, and ne beginnings.
Candy Needham has rebuilt her life from the ground up after a devastating TV scandal nearly destroyed her career. Now launching her own renovation business in Autumn Lake, she’s determined to prove she’s more than just a pretty face with a toolbelt. The lakeside house on Hollyhock Hill is the perfect showcase project… until she finds a brooding squatter claiming ownership.
Jonathan Burkhardt has spent the last several months doing penance on the Appalachian Trail, carrying his father’s ashes and a heavy load of guilt. All he wants now is peace and quiet to figure out his next steps. The house his estranged aunt offers him—his father’s childhood home—seems like the perfect refuge… until he’s awakened by a tiny blonde with a great big hammer threatening to call the police.
Maeve Lewis, Jonathan’s aunt and Candy’s benefactor, considers the mix-up providential and proposes a less-than-ideal solution. Forced to work together on the renovation, Candy’s sunshine optimism clashes with Jonathan’s thundercloud pessimism at every turn. But as walls come down in the old house, so do the barriers around their hearts. Still, their unresolved pasts may derail not just the renovation, but any hope of a future together.
The Renovation on Hollyhock Hill, Book 4 in the Autumn Lake Romance series, is a tender story about honoring the past while building a future, finding strength in vulnerability, and learning that sometimes the most beautiful transformations begin by tearing everything down to the studs. With her signature warmth and wit, Becky Doughty delivers another heartfelt tale of healing, hope, and the transformative power of love.
