First rule of renovating:  

Don’t kiss your contractor… 

Only, Maddie Briar already broke that rule. Last night, she didn’t know Jake Winn was her contractor. He was just the handsome local she’d shared a drink with and a flirty get-to-know-you conversation that ended in a mind-blowing kiss! Now, though, Jake is not only the grumpy foreman handling the renovation for her new catering business, but also the guy she outbid for the building…and her neighbor! With both their reputations and futures on the line, every decision ends in a standoff. Can Maddie and Jake set aside the barbs—and electric chemistry—to get the job done?
