Delaney Monroe is a journalist and transplant to Copper County. He moved there to be near his sister and is in the middle of a home renovation. Unfortunately, he is a disaster when he tries to do projects on his own. 

Brewer Barnum is the county's favorite contractor. Everyone loves and recommends him even if they do not truly know him.

And these two are both opinionated, stubborn, sure of their own ideas, and tend to dismiss each other and not listen. They fuss, they fight, they get under each other's skin. And there is also this underlying attraction they initially try to ignore.

But when one of Delaney's accidents causes Brewer to be homeless, they find themselves having to live in close quarters. Delaney is smart, prickly, particular, and untrusting.  Brewer is big, stoic, friendly, but has walls up. Initially, their power struggles blind them to each other's true motivations, but once they start to understand each other, it opens up a whole new set of complications, fears,  and potential. 

This is a witty, sexy, heartfelt, small-town, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, contractor-client, opposites-attract romance about two misfits finding a true home. It brings back some of the other couples and townies. I was happy to see one couple get a little bonus epilogue. I am hoping there is a series planned for Delaney's hockey player brothers too.
