A deeply moving and irresistibly sexy romance about grief, forgiveness, and the courage to let someone in. Perfect for fans of Haley Cass, Rachel Lacey, and Clare Lydon.
Contractor Hera Walker is stuck in a cycle of grief when her nephew Rocco talks her into renovating his new coffee shop. All she has to do is come in, do the work, and leave. Then she meets his business partner. Kat Jones is a glamorous, recently retired escort, and Hera cannot get past it. But Kat keeps bringing her coffee, keeps showing up wearing that red lipstick, and every wall Hera has ever built seems to crack right down to its foundations.
But Kat has some walls of her own. After years of separating the professional from the personal, she doesn't need a judgmental, emotionally shut-down builder complicating her fresh start. Only between art gallery evenings and kitchen inspections that are absolutely not dates, something keeps pulling them closer. And both women start to realize that maybe the biggest renovation they need is in their own hearts.
