She moved to escape the noise. She didn't expect to find something worth staying for.
After a messy breakup and years of city chaos, Raina Blackwood is done. Done with the fake smiles, the crowded streets, and people who only see her size-not her heart. So whats she expect when she leaves to her a run-down cottage in the quiet countryside, Raina packs up her life and heads for peace, fresh air, and a second chance.
What she didn't plan on? A collapsed porch, a leaky roof, and Wyatt Carter-her ruggedly handsome neighbor with a toolbelt on his hip and a slow Southern drawl that makes her forget how to breathe.
Wyatt's not looking for love, but there's something about Raina-her strength, her laugh, the way she owns every inch of herself-that he can't stay away from.
As they rebuild her home, Raina begins to realize she's not just fixing a house-she's building a life. And maybe, just maybe, a love that finally feels like home.
A feel-good romance about healing, home renovations, and falling for the one who sees you completely.
