After years of designing her familyβs 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 anythingβor anyoneβstand in her way. And that includes St. Helenaβs most irresistible contractor, the man who makes her melt every time she sees himβeven though he shattered her heart years ago.
A former NFL star, Jack βHard Hammerβ Tanner now spends his days doing contract work for the beautiful women of St. Helenaβand 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 Jackβs dream job comes calling, he faces a tough choice: building in the big leagues, or building forever with his first love.
