She needs to start over, but that means sleeping where she can and making the most of her slim savings. Luckily, she comes across a recently sold, unoccupied house. It couldn't hurt to stay there while she saves up enough to get her own place, right? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGethin Thomas is also looking to move on after the end of a long-term relationship. He's returned to his hometown, anxious to renovate the fixer-upper he bought and move out of his sister's cramped guest room. When he walks through the door one morning, he finds Jess, who's ready to run again, and surprises them both by offering to let her stay. It feels like the right thing to do, but Jess doesn't want a handout. They strike a bargain: Jess will help with the restoration, furnishing, and decorating in exchange for room and board. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile they peel wallpaper and shop for new furniture, an unexpected friendship develops as they bond over music and food, and slowly open up to each other about their pasts. When it's time for Gethin to move in, he convinces Jess to be his official housemate and she agrees--so long as he lets her pay rent. The connection between them soon shifts to an attraction that seems both inevitable and overwhelming, and Jess must decide what she wants. With so much hurt in her past, can she risk loving again? She was brave enough to reach for a new life--and now a future she hadn't even dreamed possible could be just within her grasp.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJackie Fraser\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance editor and writer.
