Live. Laugh. Move on.

Madeline

Moving to the small town beachside of Hope Bay couldn't have come at a better time after my separation. What I didn't count on living next door to my sister was dog-sitting her naughty beagle and the catastrophe he causes.

Nor did I count on a handsome man coming to my rescue and the instant attraction between us.

But then he introduced himself as my new contractor to help renovate my newly acquired house.

I can't date my employee no matter how much my feelings for Nate grow.

Nate

Working construction wasn't where I'd originally planned to be, but here I was about to start a new job in Hope Bay when the owner literally fell into my arms. It'd been a long time since I'd felt an instant attraction to a woman, and now I had to work for her.

She has a no-dating-an-employee policy, but I find ways to spend more time with Madeline without crossing her boundaries. The problem is, I've fallen in love with her.

And if she discovers who I really am, then I might lose her before I've even had her.
