Maya Sanchez never planned on starting over--not like this. After losing her wife in a tragic accident, she moves back to her Arizona hometown with her four-year-old daughter, determined to rebuild their lives. But their fixer-upper needs more than she can handle alone. Enter Nolan Wright--skilled contractor, ex-Army machinist, and exactly the kind of reliable help Maya needs. What she doesn't need? The way Nolan makes her feel something she thought was long buried.

Nolan is trying to move forward, too--one renovation, one day at a time. Helping Maya should be just another job, but from the moment they meet, the connection is undeniable. As attraction kindles, so do the secrets neither of them are ready to share.

Falling wasn't part of the plan, but love doesn't wait for perfect timing. Can they trust each other enough to build something real, or will the past tear them apart?
