Lucy Tuttle is a workaholic financial planner whose biggest worry is how to line up the sticky notes on her desk just so, until her only relative dies a car accident halfway across the world. Suddenly Lucy (apartment-dwelling, doesn't-own-a-hammer Lucy) inherits a handyman's delight on the other side of town. Her boyfriend, a laid back environmentalist with an affinity for organic lentils and sock thievery, convinces Lucy to move into her aunt's brokendown house. The two of them embark on a quest to settle down, renovate her aunt's home, and start a family - but as it turns out, living happily ever after in a house that's about to be condemned isn't so easy after all.

Chasing A Starlight by juicyfruitsx0

!!!PAPERBACKS LIVE ON AMAZON!!! After her father's passing, Soleil moved to the fancy house in the suburbs that he left her. She called it the perfect parting gift. With a fully paid for house and less bills on her shoulders, it'd be easier to focus on her career. What she did not expect to come with the house was the grumpy man who lived next door. After countless failed attempts to talk to him, Soleil figured it was best to stay on her side of the yard. But when a storm strikes, the last place Soleil thought she'd seek shelter was at his place. The last person she thought would be so thoughtful and tender towards her was him. He's a good catholic. He swears to behave. A line has been blurred, one that was never truly there. And temptation would be the death of him, and his well-mannered values. Even if temptation was a young woman with legs for days.
