He was the older brother she wasn’t supposed to notice. Now he’s the lakeside mountain man who can’t stop noticing her.

Liam Rowe. Her childhood crush. Her friend’s too-hot older brother.
Once untouchable, Liam is now rugged, capable, and maddeningly helpful — with hands that know their way around a cabin and eyes that somehow see right through her.

She’s just passing through. But when sparks fly between them, can a summer of sawdust and second chances turn into something built to last?
