Mother Hater

About this book

Life for a single mom is complicated enough, but when three of her best friends—who were supposed to be her partners in a co-parenting pact—all find love, she feels well and truly left behind. Stuck in a crumbling brownstone and feeling like the last woman standing, she is desperate for a fresh start. When a handsome, overbearing contractor arrives to tackle the home renovations, she expects a professional service; instead, she gets a battle of wills. This classic enemies-to-lovers story thrives on forced proximity as the contractor begins to dismantle her defenses. While she tries her hardest to keep him at arm’s length, he refuses to be pushed away, seamlessly integrating himself into her household. He charms her roommates, wins over her children, and starts mending the house, one room at a time. Their constant clashing soon gives way to undeniable chemistry. When a burst pipe forces them into a heated, spontaneous encounter, she is forced to confront her jaded outlook on romance. As they navigate the chaos of home improvement and single motherhood, she realizes he is doing more than just fixing her walls—he is slowly rebuilding her heart.
