Publisher Description
Playing house in the mountains was supposed to be temporary, but a woman would have to be made of stone to resist the most eligible bachelor in Pine Ridge and all his small-town charm.…
Denny Torres needs a break. After a series of embarrassments on and off the field, the Adirondacks provide the perfect hideout for his new, quiet, post-football life. The fresh mountain air is a welcome balm for his soul, but what’s even more soothing? The sexy, sweet touch of fellow Pine Ridge newcomer Bethany Jones. If only she planned to stay....
Bee does not have time for a hunky former athlete—no matter how good he looks shirtless. Her artistic ambitions are in ruins, her brother is a disaster, and while Pine Ridge has its charms, the small town is nothing more than a pit stop on her way to getting back on track. Bee’s just going to ignore the fact that when Denny offers her the chance to channel her creative energy into redesigning his house, she finds herself building the home—and the life—of her dreams.
With their time together coming to an end, Denny will have to move quickly to prove he can be the man Bee needs. Who better than a defensive back to knock down those walls?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A city girl flees to a small town to escape her heartbreak in Accardo's cute, cozy debut. Ex-lawyer Sydney Walsh abruptly abandons her New York City life after walking in on her boyfriend in bed with someone else. Distraught, she seeks temporary refuge at her mother's apartment in the small mountain town of Pine Ridge, N.Y. There she meets Sam Kirkland, the irresistible local mechanic. Their instant attraction is impossible to ignore, but Sydney's still recovering from her breakup, and Sam's mysterious past with an ex-girlfriend continues to affect his present, preventing the pair from acting on their raw attraction. Sydney distracts herself by helping out at her mother's struggling bookstore, with the fragile hope that saving the store will help her rediscover her sense of purpose. She brings plenty of fresh ideas to the project, and the winsome townspeople are eager to support her—Sam included. In fact, despite their better judgment, the pair find it impossible to stay away from each other. Accardo brings her characters to life through careful attention to detail and well-thought-out backstories. Sydney's and Sam's believable baggage and palpable chemistry make for a deeply satisfying slow-burn romance.
