Romance Contemporary
L. E. Brossβs contemporary romance debut is a fun and sexy tale of unlikely lovers struggling to leave the past where it belongsβbehind themβand embrace a bright future. Melanie McAllisterβs brand new copy of Home Improvement for Dummies doesnβt even begin to cover the DIY advice she really needs: how to put the pieces of her life back together. Her cheating ex-husbandβs insider trading scandal destroyed her familyβs multi-million dollar company and left Mel with nothing but the run-down oceanfront cottage she inherited from her parents. Biscay Beach, Maine, seems as good a place to start over as any. Hot-as-hell carpenter Eli Stuart understands new beginnings. Once a rising star in the art world, the former sculptor has been secretly carving out a new existence in the small coastal town ever since the sheen on his old life turned to rust. Heβs willing to bet the feisty brunette in need of major home repairs has never lifted a tool heavier than a nail fileβuntil Mel is racing the clock to make her ramshackle home fit for winter and, facing a near-empty bank account, decides she can do it all herself. So Eli offers Mel a deal: if she helps him with the renovations, heβll cut the bill in half. Soon Mel and her damned home improvement book are driving Eli mad with an explosive urge to return to his studio and fire up his torch once more. His new work is crude and raw, and before long, he canβt keep his hands off Mel, either. But a muse from his past could ruin it all for the second timeβif Eli and Mel canβt let go of who they used to be and trust their hearts with a do-over.
