Worth Saving

She inherited a wreck. He’s the man who keeps telling her it can’t be saved.

Six weeks ago, June Brennan’s whole life fit in one word: aunt. Now her sister is gone, her sister’s grieving fifteen-year-old is hers to raise, and the only thing she has to offer either of them is a turquoise cottage on stilts at the lip of a bluff, beautiful, unembarrassed, and quietly coming apart.

She’s an event planner who fixes other people’s disasters for a living. She has decided she will fix this one too.

Then there’s the man on her porch. Holt Shaw doesn’t do hello. He does left side’s gone soft, use the right. He’s the craftsman who knows every board in town, built like a workbench and twice as unmovable, and the first thing he tells her is that her dream house is a death trap. The second thing he does, without being asked, is put a steadying hand on her grieving boy.
