I never finish a project late. Ever. So, when sassy, stilettoed Vivian Vandemark swaggers in with a roll of red tape to shut down my construction site, you can imagine my reaction. Although, it involves a sledgehammer and perfectly good drywall, so maybe you canβt.
She doesnβt look or act like any government employee Iβve met and Iβm determined to uncover her secrets. When I lean in, I lean in hard. But so does Vivian. Now that weβre incinerating the bedsheets, weβre in way over our heads.
What started out as physical infatuation quickly morphs into more. Vivian is staying at my place and Iβm helping bury her father. Sheβs meeting my adoptive family and Iβm hiring her fresh-out-of-rehab brother. With our checkered pasts, trust doesnβt come easily, but hell if I let that stop me from living happily ever afterβ¦
