Book Blurb

One thrives in order. The other thrives in chaos. Together, they might just build something lasting.

When carpenter Sullivan “Sully” Tarleton gets the green light to start restoring the Southern Charm, he’s ready to get his hands dirty. The historic hotel deserves new life—and Sully isn’t afraid of hard work or sawdust. What he doesn’t expect is for his latest project to come with a buttoned-up accountant who challenges him at every turn.

 

Chandler Braddock likes rules, order, and control. Numbers never lie, and unlike people, they always add up. But when his best friend convinces him to leave New York and visit the Charm, Chandler finds himself face-to-face with a scruffy, messy carpenter who shakes the very foundation of his carefully balanced life.

 

Sparks fly, tempers clash, and slowly, attraction sparks into something deeper. Can a man who craves perfection and a man who thrives in beautiful chaos learn to meet in the middle—or will their differences tear them apart before they even begin?
