A tough-as-leather football player. A happy-go-lucky historian. It's love against all odds in a warm and emotional romance about found family, friendship, and the restorative powers of the heart.

Former Dallas football player Burke Barrett is weathering a lot of changes. He's retired from football. He's mourning the loss of his best friend. And now he's been bequeathed a dilapidated house in northern Michigan he doesn't want. To his surprise it comes with a long-legged, blindly optimistic renovation manager with big ideas for Burke's inheritance. She's passionate, irritating, and irresistible.

Restoration expert Charlotte Cunningham is used to rough exteriors. This surly client, with his stubbled jaw, towering physique, and inflexible attitude, is worth smoothing over. The attraction sizzles, and a proposal is in order: a romantic tryst to relieve the tension. No strings attached. A safe bet for both of them since Burke is prepared to renovate, sell, and move on.

A pet project with an end date. Does that go for love too? Burke must decide what he really wants and what he's willing to risk. He should know by now that the best-laid plans can change in a heartbeat.
