Norah Carter wasn't looking for love, not after losing the boy who once held her whole heart. Her quiet life in Hillcrest is safe, predictable... until the cocky handyman From the next town over shows up to fix her crumbling farmhouse.
Nick Hunter is trouble wrapped up in muscle and sawdust, with a grin that should be illegal and a habit of showing up at Tom's Diner just to watch Norah blush. He swears he's only in town to work, but the way he looks at her says otherwise.
Late-night porch swings, string lights, and stolen kisses soon blur the lines between grief and something that feels like a lot of hope. But when trouble comes knocking, Norah has to decide if she's ready to stop looking back and start building something new.
