After years of designing her familyโs grand wineries (and a few not-so-grand closets on the side), Abby DeLuca knows she has what it takes to be an award-winning interior designer. Newly single, Abby lands the career opportunity of a lifetime and refuses to let anythingโor anyoneโstand in her way. And that includes St. Helenaโs most irresistible contractor, the man who makes her melt every time she sees himโeven though he shattered her heart years ago.
A former NFL star, Jack โHard Hammerโ Tanner now spends his days doing contract work for the beautiful women of St. Helenaโand his nights doing off-the-books projects in their bedrooms. Yet the more time the sexy tool-belt-for- hire spends with Abby, the more he longs to fix her broken heart. Soon, rekindled sparks fly. But when Jackโs dream job comes calling, he faces a tough choice: building in the big leagues, or building forever with his first love.
