Love Renovated

Grief made her cautious. Desire made her brave. Love might make her whole again.

A year after losing her husband, 45-year-old Delanie Prescott throws herself into renovating her grandmother’s farmhouse. She isn’t looking for love, just a way to rebuild her life. Enter 32-year-old contractor Tanner, whose skill with a hammer is matched only by his knack for making Delanie laugh. As they transform the old house, Delanie finds herself drawn to Tanner's warmth and charm. But after a lifetime of playing it safe and one devastating loss, Delanie isn’t sure she can risk her heart again, yet walking away from Tanner might hurt even more.
Tanner Higgins thought the renovation job was just another project, but meeting Delanie changed everything. Her strength and vulnerability captivate him, and he longs to be more than just her contractor. As he sees the pain she’s been hiding, so like the grief he’s never shaken, Tanner finds himself drawn in despite his better judgment. Despite their age difference, Tanner knows his feelings for Delanie are genuine and worth fighting for. With whispers from the town and doubts of her own echoing louder each day, Tanner must show Delanie that some chances are worth taking, even if it means losing her to fear.
