One grumpy handyman. One sunshine heiress. Zero chance they'll keep it "strictly business."

CHLOE: I came to Ashfall Bluff to prove I'm not a failure. One rundown cabin, one impossible dream, and exactly zero clue what I'm doing. When the grumpy, gorgeous handyman shows up to fix my plumbing disaster, I expect judgment - not a proposal that changes everything.

His skills. My help with his daughter. A summer-long barter that's supposed to be strictly business.

But watching Ben Carter work with those capable hands, seeing the way he loves his little girl, feeling the heat in his gaze when he thinks I'm not looking? This arrangement is getting dangerously complicated.

BEN: The last thing I need is a city girl with designer jeans and zero survival skills. But my daughter takes one look at Chloe Sterling and decides she's ours to keep. And when Chloe smiles at me like I'm more than just the town handyman? I start to think Lily might be right.

Our deal is simple. Professional. Temporary. At least, it was - until I kissed her. Until she fit in my arms like she was made for me. Until I started imagining a future I swore I'd never want again.

Now her family wants to drag her back home, the town wants to crush her dream, and I'm realizing I'll fight anyone who tries to take her away.

Because some bargains aren't meant to be temporary. Some are worth keeping forever.

A scorching small-town romance with a grumpy single dad, a sunshine heiress, forced proximity, and enough heat to melt a mountain. Dual POV. Guaranteed HEA.

This title is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone as well. You can probably read it over your lunch break or commute, but you might blush a bit.
