A Christmas Renovation

Book excerpt: But the prettiest sight to see… Cameron Kutcher is a single mom, just trying to make Christmas happen for her daughter. With her contracting business slowing down for the winter season and only working a couple nights a week at a local brewery, she worries that her daughter will wake up to nothing from Santa under their tree. Is the holly that will be, on your own front door… Luke Branson has been burned before by contractors who didn’t do a good enough job. As a real estate investor, he has a certain standard to match that will give him the biggest return on investment. But his latest project is more personal: his family’s former home that he recently reacquired. One that he has a very specific—very nostalgic—vision of what he wants it to look like. When Luke promises his parents that he’ll have the house ready in time to celebrate Christmas with his family, he hires Cameron online and is surprised to see that she’s a woman—one who has a strong opinion about Luke’s so-called “standards.” Meanwhile, Cameron is happy to accept a steady job through the holidays. And as the two of them work closely on the project, they soon realize that there is more developing than just real estate.
