She’s got big plans. He’s got an even bigger attitude.
Lydia Tate has finally done it! She’s left the grind of city life behind and bought the charming old building in Reckless River, a small town with all the potential in the world. With a little polish and some much-needed upgrades, she’s sure she can turn it into something special. A boutique hotel addition, a trendy café, maybe even a wine bar—she’s got ideas for days. But first, she has to deal with the one tenant who’s making her dream renovation feel more like a walking, talking, hot nightmare.
Callum Benedict has spent the last decade pouring his blood, sweat, and a questionable amount of whiskey into his bar, The Rusty Stag. It’s more than a business… it’s the town’s beating heart. The last thing he needs is some city-slicker with big plans and zero respect for the soul of Reckless River barging in and talking about modernizing.
Over his dead body.
Lydia wants to build something beautiful. Callum wants her to take her glitzy clipboards and overpriced boots and go right back to where she came from.
But when small-town charm, stubborn pride, and a whole lot of unresolved tension collide, sparks fly in ways neither of them saw coming.
