In this steamy and emotional small-town romance, a disgraced ex-musician and a local handyman try to resist their growing attraction for each other--until a house renovation forces them together--from the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood and Will They or Won't They

"Real, raw, and deeply romantic."--Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Dream On, Ramona Riley

It's been a decade since Merritt Valentine's height as a celebrated singer-songwriter . . . and her subsequent career-ending mental breakdown. In the following years, she's abandoned the glitz of Los Angeles to move in with her sister, Olivia, in the sleepy Colorado ski town of Crested Peak, hoping to heal her lingering emotional wounds somewhere out of the spotlight.

Life in Crested Peak would be uncomplicated if not for Merritt's inconvenient crush on the local contractor and handyman, Nikolaos Petrakis. Niko is disarmingly handsome and too kind-hearted to ever be right for the complex and prickly Merritt. Though tempting, a fling with Niko would only invite the kind of drama Merritt has vowed to leave behind.

After his last heartbreak, Niko is done dating his fellow townies. Still, he can't shake his fascination with the brilliant Merritt, even as he heeds their mutual friends' warnings to steer clear of her chaos. But when Merritt needs help fixing up a house of her own, Niko is glad to be the only man for the job.

As the two spend more time together, their mutual attraction sparking a deeper connection than either one expects, they're forced to confront the idea that they may have underestimated each other--and themselves.
