Publisher's summary

From Amazon Charts best-selling author Jennifer Millikin comes a small town, single dad romance.

Colbie Jones has worked hard to design a pain-free life. So when she catches her boyfriend cheating, it doesn’t hurt that much. But when Colbie receives a call that her estranged father, Emmett, has been badly injured, she realizes it’s time to pack her bags and finally face him—and that’s going to hurt.

Colbie’s arrival sends shock waves through the small town, but it affects Jake Whittier most of all. Single-dad and foreman of Jones Construction, Jake sees Emmett as the father he no longer has, and that makes him an opponent of all things Colbie Jones.

Jake’s obvious animosity doesn’t bother Colbie, because she’s leaving in three days, tops. But then her dad asks her to stay and take over his business while he recovers, and Colbie hears herself agreeing before she has fully considered the proposal. Never mind that she has no idea how to build a house.

Jake will just have to deal with having her around.

But the more time Colbie spends with Jake, the more she sees why the rest of the town likes him. And once Colbie meets Jake’s son, it’s all downhill from there.

Colbie thought the most challenging part of this arrangement would be having to work with Jake.

But falling for him?

That would be awful.

Must for small town single dad romance lovers!

The narrators were good and I really enjoyed the story! The initial distrust/dislike between Jake and Colbie is strong but the way they thaw and start to see each other for who they truly are is beautiful. I loved how open they were with their feelings. The compassion and support when going through difficult times. Jake’s son Robbie was adorable and I loved that he built an independent relationship with Colbie too! Highly recommend for a small-town single dad romance lover! I also enjoyed the pacing of the story, I felt like everything progressed so naturally and beautifully
