BLURB

Their biggest project isn’t the building—it’s each other.

Joy Holiday traded small-town life for a fast-paced city career a lifetime ago. She never intended to return to the dusty mining town her estranged mother called home. But when she inherits her mom’s crumbling building, she’s forced to confront the past she thought she’d left behind. The dilapidated structure symbolizes memories Joy would rather bury, and she plans to demolish it and move on for good—so she hires the guy with the best reputation in town.

Charlie Hunnicutt is a hometown boy who has spent years painstakingly restoring each historic building brick by brick. Unbeknownst to Joy, the town’s passionate preservationist sees nothing but potential in the old structure. It’s a treasure, a piece of the town’s soul worth saving. So when Joy, with demolition on her mind, sweeps into town in her sleek BMW, it’s all Charlie can do to keep his cool.

What should be a straightforward business transaction quickly turns into a battle of wills as the two butt heads at every turn. But while they clash over the building’s fate, an undeniable attraction begins to grow between them.

As their connection deepens, Joy and Charlie are forced to face their conflicting visions and decide whether love can bridge the gap between their worlds. Where history clashes with the future, love might just be the blueprint.

EXCERPT

Charlie’s feelings were mixed when it came to Joy. Watching her devour the pastries this morning had made him want to laugh out loud, and it had made her seem human. But then her steely side had taken over, and she’d come at him in full uptight business persona. He needed the job, but did he want the job? Well, yeah, he did—he loved that building—but at the cost of dealing with her? He wasn’t so sure.
If she stuck around Fall River, remodeling Crystal Harmony Haven might not be such a good idea for either of them. She’d be underfoot constantly, which was bad enough if she was pleasant. But she was about as pleasant as a tick burrowing into his ass. He couldn’t remember feeling quite so tangled before, but he did know he didn’t have time for her shit.
Noah leaned way back and gave him an appraising look.
“What?” Charlie barked.
“Maybe you’re attracted to her.”
“You’re out of your mind!”
“Your reaction says otherwise, bro. It’s not like you to get so worked up.” Noah seemed to fight a smile Charlie wanted to knock off his face before it formed. “I mean, I get it. She’s pretty hot, and she’s got this vibe going on with her fast cars—you know, fast cars, fast women? I don’t think Micky’s stopped drooling yet. And let’s not forget, she’s Zoe Saldana’s doppleganger.”
This comment further fueled Charlie’s irritation. “She doesn’t look anything like Zoe Saldana! And Micky drools over any breathing being with female plumbing.”
“Are you implying the same doesn’t hold true for you?” Noah let out a chuckle, the asshole.
“This chick is definitely not my type. She struts around in her high heels with an attitude nastier than a wolverine’s while she’s cutting you to ribbons with that sharp tongue of hers.” He paused a beat. “And she’s too damn skinny. What the hell would you hold on to?”
“Not my problem.”
“Not mine either.”
