About this ebook
After my husband died—in the bed of his mistress, no less—I made myself a promise. No more men. No more lies. No more handing my heart to someone who’ll just break it.
Then Nick Howell shows up with a toolbox, a wicked grin, and enough charm to test every ounce of my resolve. I hired him to fix my porch before the Fourth of July celebration, not to make me laugh again—or remember what it feels like to want someone.
He’s too young, too confident, too dangerous to my peace of mind. And yet, every time he looks at me, the walls I built start to crumble.
Maybe love isn’t about playing it safe.
Maybe it’s about taking a chance—even if it blows up like fireworks in the summer sky.
