LUKE

Noah needs my help. His house is a disaster—leaky pipes, warped floors, and enough structural issues to make any contractor cringe. Lucky for him, I love a good project.

The problem? Noah himself.

He’s all sharp edges and stubborn pride, with a permanent scowl that shouldn’t be attractive—but somehow is. Between fixing up his house and bonding with his ridiculously adorable kid, I start to realize… maybe I want more than just another job.

Too bad Noah’s made it clear he doesn’t have time for casual flings. And I don’t do commitment. So why does walking away feel like the one thing I can’t fix?

NOAH

I bought a fixer-upper. I didn’t realize it came with an infuriating, too-charming-for-his-own-good contractor.

Luke Garrett is everything I don’t have time for—loud, flirtatious, and way too eager to worm his way past my defenses. I hired him to repair my house, not my life.

But the more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the way he looks at me—or the way I catch myself looking back. He makes me want things I’ve tried to ignore my entire life.

Letting Luke in would be a mistake. I’ve built walls for a reason, and I can’t afford to let them come crashing down.

Even if, for the first time in a long time, it feels like someone is actually worth the risk.
