I’m the last single mom standing.
We had a plan. Move into my great aunt’s old house and raise our kids together. Just four best friends, doing their best to stay afloat.
But then three of them had to go and fall in love.
Now my crumbling brownstone is filled with loving couples, leaving me in the cold.
And the pressure is on to finish fixing things up.
But just when I’ve given up hope, a contractor shows up at my door, tape measure at the ready to make my home renovation dreams come true.
But there’s a catch. He’s overbearing, bossy, and infuriatingly handsome.
Our personalities immediately clash and for once, the faulty wiring isn’t the cause of all the sparks. Despite my best attempts to get rid of him, he persists, fixing things and winning over my roommates, and eventually my kids.
And when a burst pipe results in a hot and heavy make-out session, I’m left wondering if my man-hating days might be behind me.
Because he’s not just renovating my home, but fixing all the cracks in my jaded heart.
