Settle in for an opposites attract, renovation-to-remember from RITA(R) award finalist Aurora Rey. After years of hustling from one adjunct gig to another, Kathleen Kenney has finally hit the big time.

Forget tenure, she's got a best-selling novel under her belt. That means leaving the campus grind for rural Vermont, fixing up the old farmhouse of her dreams, and writing romance fiction from the comfort and quiet of her new home.

She doesn't believe in the happily-ever-afters they promise, but really, who does? As the youngest member of the Barrow Brothers Construction team, Logan Barrow leaps at the opportunity to take lead on the Kenney job. It's a chance to prove she can go beyond design and see a project through, from start to finish.

Unfortunately, a flirtatious foible puts Kathleen on the defensive and leaves Logan scrambling to be taken seriously. Nothing goes as planned, and their meet-cute is a definite fixer-upper.

The renovation gets done because that's what Barrow Brothers is all about. The hardest job of all, though, will be convincing Kathleen their love is as move-in-ready as her farmhouse.
