When city girl Roxy Bennett reluctantly returns to her small hometown to settle her late grandmother's estate, the last thing she expects is to clash with her childhood rival-now the town's most sought-after contractor. Ethan Cole has always been infuriatingly stubborn, and ten years haven't softened his sharp wit or that disarming smile.
Tasked with restoring her grandmother's crumbling inn before it's sold, Roxy finds herself working side by side with Ethan-an arrangement that stirs up old grudges, buried secrets, and a spark she can't ignore. As laughter slips into late-night confessions and sparks turn into something deeper, Roxy must decide if the life she's been running toward is truly the one she wants...or if love has been waiting right where she left it.
