Sunny single mom + grumpy protective silver fox + forced proximity = one sizzling slow burn
Amber:
When the health inspector shut down the diner I manage, I lost more than my paycheck. Suddenly, I’m standing in the wreckage of the life I’d been drifting through, with three hungry kids, a stack of my grandma’s recipes, and no backup plan.
I never planned to chase my own dreambut maybe I should. And apparently, Brett Walker thinks so too. He’s a gruff contractor, ex-military, and the last man I expected to offer help. His business proposal could change everything. The catch? We’ll be working side-by-side, day after day, and my sunny outlook seems to clash with his stormy moods even as something warmer starts to take root between us.
Brett:
I came to Twin Waves to renovate a few properties, keep my head down, and move on. That’s what I dofix things, then walk away.
But Amber’s not just another project. She’s stubborn, strong, and more capable than she realizes. And the more time I spend with herand her kidsthe harder it is to imagine leaving when the work is done.
She’s sunshine with a side of sass. He’s grump with a hammer. Together, they might just build something worth keeping.
