Big city model Lucy has had enough of flashing cameras, fake smiles, and a life that doesn't feel like hers anymore. So she escapes to a quiet little town, buys a fixer-upper, and vows to start fresh. The only problem? Her "charming" new house is one strong breeze away from falling apart. Enter Tim-a grumpy, old-school contractor who'd rather be working with his hands than dealing with a big-city runaway who has no idea which end of a hammer to hold. He's well-loved around town, has a knack for fixing just about anything (including the occasional car in his garage), and absolutely did not sign up to have his peaceful life turned upside down by a glamorous stranger. But as sparks fly between arguments and drywall, Lucy and Tim might just discover that love can show up where you least expect it... even on a construction site.
