She washed up on my porch in the middle of a storm, soaked to the bone and ready for war.
I shouldn’t have unlocked the door.
I buried my heart six years ago. I raise my daughter. I fix what's broken.
And I don't let anything back in that can break me again.
Then Simone Broussard shows up with a legal envelope, a ninety-day deadline, and a mouth that argues like she's never lost anything in her life.
She wants her grandparents' bookstore fixed on her timeline.
I don't rush foundations. I don't rush anything.
But she keeps looking at me like I'm not just the guy with the tool belt.
I tell myself it's temporary. She's leaving in ninety days — back to her gallery, her city, her life that has no room for a widower with sawdust in his hair and a little girl who already loves her too much.
I tell myself not to get attached every single day.
But it’s not working.
Now the storm's cleared, the shop's standing, and everyone in this town can see what I've been trying not to…
That she's mine.
And I'll tear up every contract in this state before I let anyone take her off this island.
Read on for grumpy-guarded single dad, forced-proximity renovation, small-town secrets, and a man who'd burn down a ninety-day deadline to keep the one woman he swore he'd never let in. HEA Guaranteed.
Genre: Romance
