My father left me a crumbling Victorian money pit. Then he sent his best friend to fix it.
I have no money, no job, and a house that's actively trying to kill me. When I fall through the rotting kitchen floor, I expect to die there. Instead, I'm pulled out by Ford Callahan.
He's twenty years older than me. He's a rugged, silver-templed contractor with hands rough from work and a voice that commands obedience. He's also the man my absent father hired to save this house.
Ford is here to fix the foundation. But he takes one look at me?burned out, untouched, and desperate for control?and decides to fix me, too.
He offers me a deal: He'll renovate the house by day. By night, he'll renovate me. He'll teach me what my body is for. He'll teach me to ask for what I want. And if I break his strict safety rules? He'll teach me the meaning of discipline.
But as the walls go up and the secrets of my grandmother's garden come to light, the lines between teacher and student blur. I'm falling for the one man I can't have. And when he brings in his crew?a brotherhood of rough, protective men?I realize this renovation is just the beginning.
** The Renovation Project is a high-heat, rapid-release serial. Book 1 contains: Age Gap, Dad's Friend, Competence Kink, and stern discipline themes. It ends with a HFN (Happy For Now) and leads directly into Book 2.**
