Architect Derek Walsh normally spends his days designing and constructing modern structures, but when his friends want to employ his services to help restore life into their hundred year old farm house, his desire to restore some historic fine craftsmanship for a change wins out. The other major selling point was the opportunity to work alongside the woman he lost eight years ago. Leaving her and knowing he broke her heart has haunted him for the last eight years, and now he’s hoping working on this project together will give him the opportunity to make amends, and possibly help him to find a place in her life again. He knew eight years ago that she was the love of his life, but trying to do the right thing got in the way, and he lost her… this time though he has no intention of letting her get away.
Lindsey Morales has a eye for design, and loves taking old things and giving them new life, so when her friends decide to restore their hundred year old farmhouse, hiring Lindsey seems like a perfect fit. Lindsey is thrilled to have the opportunity to put her talents to good use, and hopes that this job will help her put her little business on the map, and potentially bring in a few more customers too. But when she learns that the contractor they’ve hired to help her with the project just so happens to be the man that broke her heart eight years ago, she is instantly filled with apprehension. Having him walk away all those years ago was completely devastating for her and she has went to great lengths to avoid any contact with him for fear of being pulled back in and having heart broke all over again. Being this close to him is going to be challenging, but she has heart her guarded and has no plan of the letting the enemy back in…
After reading the synopsis for this story I knew it was going to be good second chance love story that I could really submerse myself into, and I am happy to report that my initial thoughts were spot on, barely a chapter into it, and I was in deep!! Lindsey and Derek’s story pulled me in almost immediately and had me flying right through the pages in search of what I hoped to be a very well deserved happy ending, and I have to say that I found that and SO much more!! From the very beginning it was evident that these two were a match made in literary heaven, the chemistry between them burned brightly from start to finish… and also help to create some very steamy encounters that had me blushing and smiling like a fool!!
If you have not had the opportunity to read this series yet, I encourage you you to remedy that very soon!! Not only are you missing out on some truly exceptional reading, but also the opportunity to meet some very charming characters that are certain to cement a permanent place in your heart!!
