But years in her sister spare room has come to an end. It's time for Merritt to start living again. The first step? Renovating the house she bought, and the disarmingly handsome local contractor, Nikolaos Petrakis, is just the man for the job. Her minor crush on him isn't relevant whatsoever. After his last heartbreak, Niko is done dating his fellow townies. It's too messy.
