The Contractor's Rose
He’s her dad’s best friend, but she’s the only one he wants to nail down.
At 27, Rosemarie Carter thought she was finally living her dream—owning a cozy bookstore passed down from her grandmother, tucked into the heart of her hometown, with her parents’ office right next door. But when a burst pipe floods the shop and leaves her surrounded by waterlogged shelves and ruined pages, her dreams start sinking fast.
In walks Gavin Miller.
At 52, Gavin has spent most of his life playing by the rules. Widowed, single dad, business partner and best friend to Rosemarie’s father, he’s kept things strictly professional. Strictly off-limits.
He’s here to help. That’s what he tells himself when he offers to take on the repairs. But every second in Rosemarie’s orbit pulls him deeper into danger—the kind that tests every promise he made to stay away.
She’s too young. Too sweet. Too forbidden.
And Gavin? He’s about to find out that fixing the floor is easy.
It’s keeping his hands off her that might break him.
