She loves projects, but he might be more than she bargained for…
WHITNEY
Oh boy does my new neighbor need help. The California tech nerd who just moved in down the beach is cute enough, but he desperately needs a makeover. Especially if I’m going to set him up with his crush, overworked town darling, single mom, and one of my best friends, Emma Day.
Marella Lake’s famous Fall Festival is the perfect time to get these two lovebirds together!
But helping him regain his confidence and update his wardrobe (unfitted slacks? Shudder) makes me realize that we have a lot in common. That his scars match mine. And I feel safe around him in a way I didn’t think was possible after The Incident. He’s awkward and sweet and surprisingly funny. But I have to remember that he’s in love with Emma, not me…

Um, how do I break it to her?
Author’s Note: This small-town, spicy contemporary romance features forced proximity, a delicious glow-up, opposites attract, small-town fall festivals, a set-up plan gone wrong, a colossal misunderstanding, and overcoming past trauma… in some seriously steamy ways.
