A single mom finds love when she least expects it in this heartwarming story of starting over.
Maren, a single mom of a teenager, is ready for a fresh start. Her daughter, Anna, is leaving for college soon, and her ex-husband is getting remarried. It's time to build a new life starting with renovating her outdated home. At her best friend's recommendation, Maren hires Blackstone Brothers Renovations to do the job.

Will Maren and Aidan heed the warnings of their family and friends or will they follow their hearts? Find out in The Real Deal, book one of the Blackstone Brothers Series.
