Build Me Up

Kristen Barnes is a California girl through and through, who's become successful as an architect and interior designer catering to the rich and famous. Hired to work on a special project in a small town in Massachusetts, she runs into trouble. Man-sized, stubble-coated and toolbox-equipped trouble. Oh, and cats. Lots and lots of cats.

Ford Hamm has better things to worry about than the new woman in town. He's a divorced single father and a specialized contractor running his own business in a town that's slowly being taken over by the rich. Unfortunately, there's no escaping the annoying California woman - not on the construction site, and not when she's bringing him sweets, bonding with his teenage daughter, or making him think less-than-pure thoughts on a regular basis...
