Some hearts need renovation before they can find their way home again.

When architectural editor Emma Claire Winters returns to Riverstone to renovate her grandmother's crumbling cottage, she plans to finish the job quickly and escape back to her ordered city life. But when the roof literally collapses around her, she finds herself reluctantly accepting help from the one person she hoped to avoid—Jackson Hayes, the handyman with a complex past and a daughter who sees through Emma's carefully constructed walls.

As Emma navigates small town gossip, family secrets hidden in the walls, and the complications of renovation, she discovers that rebuilding a home and rebuilding a heart require the same blueprint—courage, patience, and the willingness to tear everything down to its foundation before starting fresh.

• An adorable child matchmaker with wisdom beyond her years
