“I adored this book. It really gives you all the feels, while having you feeling the heat, and then leave you a swoony, heart melted mess. The story is cute, funny, charming and has a heart of pure gold, but it also has a very serious side, so don’t just expect lots of laughs but plenty of heartstring tugging too.”

Gladys – Goodreads Review

💞 Ten year age gap that not only works…but is explosive!
💞 Hero is the town a-hole, hired to build the heroine her dream cabin
💞 Heroine is widowed and now a single mom, looking for peace, not love and certainly not a fling
💞 small town RomCom hilarity

Tropes: age gap, single mom, grumpy hero, enemies to lovers, mistaken identity

I have my fresh start in a new town, this time a widow with a preteen daughter who rolls her eyes enough to make them stay that way. Too bad my past mistake is also here to greet me.


Daxon Hellman. Town a-hole. Hot young contractor hired to build my house in the woods.


It’s only when I’m face-to-face with him for the first time that I realize he’s the mystery man from two years ago. It’s a long story of too many drinks, grief that made me resort to acting out, and an encounter in the dirty bathroom of a bar. Try as I might, I can’t forget that night. And now I have a name to go with that hot body.


Daxon growls at me…I irritate him with my constant social media posting. He orders me to do things…I trample all over his ridiculous commands with a smile and a choice finger in the air. He builds my house with that tool belt slung low on his hips and my cat steals his construction plans. We fit together like rain and exposed drywall.


Between insults and hot stolen kisses, Daxon and I reach a truce: to let our bodies do the talking and keep our hearts locked down. I’m older than him, which means I’m smart enough to keep a clear head. Until I realize when it comes to love, age and common sense do not go hand in hand. 


This crazy town has more surprises up its sleeve to drive us apart, which makes me think this might not be our forever home after all…
