Set in the picturesque lakeside town of Shelby Lake, you’ll be engrossed in this heartfelt friends-to-lovers romance from the first chapter, as two best friends navigate past regrets and overcome difficult hurdles that lead them to one another.
Agnes Kingsley can hardly bear to walk past the house she once called home. It’s full of bad memories she’s never shared—not even with her best friend, Ian James. But when Ian asks for her help restoring the old house for a community project, she’s torn. Agnes knows it’s for a good cause, but as their work brings them even closer together, she’s afraid to trust—in herself and in the feelings she’s secretly harbored for her childhood friend. Yet as they chip away at the house, walls come down around both their hearts…uncovering a foundation to last a lifetime.
