The Fix-Up Feud (Orchard Harbor Book 1)

Kissing a stranger at a small-town bar is one thing. Discovering that stranger is the brooding contractor now standing in your future kitchen, tool belt and all, is quite another.

Maddie Briar moved to the charming coastal village of Orchard Harbor with big dreams: a commercial building, a thriving catering business, and a fresh start. What she didn't plan for was locking lips with a dark-eyed stranger one impulsive evening, only to find him waiting on her doorstep the next morning as Jake Winn, the infuriatingly grumpy foreman tasked with making her renovation dreams a reality. Worse, she'd snatched the very building he'd had his eye on right out from under him. And worse still? He's her new neighbor.

Now they're forced together every single day — arguing over blueprints, trading pointed remarks across property lines, and pretending that kiss never happened. Jake is all sharp edges and stormy silences, while Maddie's relentless warmth refuses to be dimmed, even when he's determined to keep her at arm's length. But with deadlines looming and sparks refusing to stay buried, their carefully maintained hostility starts cracking at the seams.

In Orchard Harbor, everyone knows everyone's business — and people are starting to talk. The question isn't whether Maddie and Jake can survive the renovation. It's whether they can survive each other without falling completely, irrevocably apart.

Your next small-town obsession is already under construction.
