When Thea Quinn is unexpectedly gifted with a run down lakefront cottage, she can't believe her luck. It's the perfect opportunity to start fresh and get away from the city. There's a catch though. It turns out she only owns half the property - and the other half is owned by none other than Dexton Mitchell, her former best friend and the guy that used her then took off without a backwards glance.
Dex Mitchell isn't happy that Thea is back in his life. Sure, he may have been in love with her once, but she dragged him through the mud one too many times. He wasn't the quiet, geeky pushover that would do anything to make her smile anymore. He'd changed and taken charge of his life, and he didn't need Thea making a mess of things.
This cottage renovation project might be more than either one of them can handle.
Or maybe, it's exactly what they need.
