______________________________

He's fixing up her house . . . and her heart.

Merritt Valentine used to be the biggest singer-songwriter in the business . . . until a career-ending breakdown. Hoping time away from the spotlight would heal her emotional wounds, she abandoned the glitz of LA for her sister's sleepy town of Crested Peak, Colorado.

But years in her sister's spare room have come to an end. It's time for Merritt to start living again. The first step? Renovating the house she bought, and the disarmingly handsome local contractor, Nikolaos Petrakis, is just the man for the job.

Her minor crush on him isn't relevant whatsoever.

After his last heartbreak, Niko is done dating his fellow townies. It's too messy. But he just can't shake his fascination with the brilliant and prickly Merritt, despite everyone telling him to steer clear of her chaos.

Denying their budding attraction while fixing up her house might just end in disaster . . . or it might be exactly what they both need.
