Five years ago, it was just supposed to be one perfect night…
One passionate encounter during a solo beach vacation left Brienne with sun-soaked memories she’d rather keep buried in the past. After too many men who’ve seen her as nothing but temporary entertainment, she’s found her sanctuary in her dream job as a designer for her best friend’s bed & breakfasts. With plans to launch her own interior design firm, Brienne’s life is taking shape exactly as planned—safe, controlled, and completely on her own terms.
Until he walks through the door.
Daxton has spent the last two years losing himself in restoration projects, trying to rebuild a life for himself and his young daughter after his wife’s tragic death. When a lucrative contract lands in his lap—one that could finally help him buy that dream property he’s been saving for—he never expects to come face-to-face with the woman who has haunted his dreams for five years.
Now they’re forced to work together, transforming historic New England houses while navigating the complexities of their growing attraction and Daxton’s role as a single father. Every shared antique show, every late-night planning session, every tender moment with Daxton’s little girl threatens to unravel their carefully maintained distance.
Brienne and Daxton find themselves not just restoring old houses, but also building trust, healing hearts, and discovering the courage to take a chance on love again.
But with each new project comes new challenges, and the weight of their pasts and the uncertainty of their futures threaten to shake the foundation they’ve built together. Can they find a way to renovate their own blueprints, crafting a life that honors both their dreams and their love?
A story of second chances, healing hearts, and the magic that happens when fate gives you another shot at the one who got away.
