Readers of Olivia Dade and Lucy Score will love this sexy Southern curvy girl romance.
How is Rose Barnes supposed to build the home (and life) of her dreams when her big, burly contractor keeps scowling at her?
Rose Barnes has got curves for days—and to Angus Drummond, the big, bearded contractor working on her new house, she’s the perfect thorn in his side. Little does she know Angus is perturbed on a daily basis by his attraction to this cheery, smart-ass woman with her sunshiny enthusiasm, her kindness, and her beautiful body.
Angus feels he has a debt to pay to the world and doesn’t deserve love until he pays it. Best to keep his mind on his work and his hands to himself. But the more Rose sees of Angus’s gruff, honorable thoughtfulness, and the more rusty laughter she surprises from him, the more she wants him too.
As their unlikely friendship becomes love, antagonism turns to partnership, and Rose’s house becomes a home. But Rose is keeping a secret that could blow up everything with Angus, and sure enough, it comes to light at the worst possible time...

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Take a trip to a charming North Carolina town in this compassionate and uplifting romance. Since Alice Rose Barnes won 80 million dollars in the lottery, her quaint and quiet life has been flipped on its head. Bombarded by everyone she’s ever met, including old high school bullies, the fiercely independent plus-size beauty leaves everything behind and heads south—going by her middle name to preserve her anonymity. She ends up in a charming town named Galway, where she befriends absolutely everyone and buys a lovely Victorian-style home, but her life gets thrown for another loop when she meets her gentle giant of contractor: the kind yet grumpy Angus Drummond, who may or may not be the love of her life. But will Angus’ feelings change when he finds out who she really is? We were captivated by author Laura Moher’s ability to weave through Rose and Angus’ slow-burning relationship—culminating in some seriously sultry (and incredibly body-positive) bedroom scenes that made us blush. If you’re looking for a story that’s full of hope, heart, and Southern charm, look no further than this dazzling debut.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Moher's sparkling debut kicks off when curvy and gumptious Indianapolis waitress Alice Rose Barnes wins $80 million in the lottery. Beset by people looking to take advantage of her newfound wealth and struggling to cope with a recent trauma, Alice decides to flee her old life for somewhere she'll feel more comfortable. Landing in Galway, N.C., she reinvents herself as Rose and though she keeps her wealth secret from her new neighbors, she becomes a kind of fairy godmother to the town, anonymously donating to local causes. Along the way, she falls for gentle giant Angus Drummond, an Army vet turned therapist who works as a builder on the side. The pair meet when Rose hires Angus to remodel her new home, and, despite a rocky start, their chemistry is undeniable. But what will happen when Angus learns all the secrets Rose is keeping? It's easy to root for these deserving and well-matched characters on their bumpy road to love, and the charming small-town setting only adds to the appeal of this complex yet cozy tale. An emphasis on body positivity combines with heartfelt romance to make this a winner.
