I came to this sleepy coastal town to restore my grandmother’s mansion—
Not to fall for the older, grumpy handyman with a past he’s desperate to keep buried.
Cal Carter is quiet, brooding, and brilliant with his hands.
But he’s not just some small-town contractor—
He’s the disgraced host of a once-famous renovation show, now living under a different name and hoping no one recognizes him.
I’m the messy, paint-splattered artist trying to rebuild more than just these walls.
He works for me. Technically.
We’re opposites. Strangers.
We’re forced to share a roof—and long, tension-filled nights that grow hotter by the day.
