Fired from my job and dumped by my boss-boyfriend at the same time (lesson learned the hard way, don’t even start), I’m forced to adopt the ‘New Year, New You’ mantra whether I want to or not. The only silver lining is a rundown old house my estranged aunt left to me in Starlight Bay, Massachusetts.That is, until I run head-on—literally—into Jackson Montgomery, local hometown superstar and the best contractor in town. He offers to help with renovations so I can rent it as a side hustle once I find a job and move back to Boston. Unfortunately, he does not offer to date me, which is a crying shame because he’s exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for.Jackson:I’ve never made a New Year’s resolution until this year. Why? Because 99.9% of people break them within six weeks. But after my girlfriend cheated on me with my (ex-) best friend, I knew I had to do it. Give up dating for at least a year, but maybe the rest of adulthood.What I hadn’t counted on was meeting Harper, a perky city girl just begging to be kissed. Fixing up her late aunt’s house was proving to be a bigger job than I could handle in the feelings department and I didn’t like it one little bit. I just needed to get her fixer-upper fixed so she could get out of Starlight Bay before something happened I couldn’t repair with a hammer and some nails.NEW YEAR’S RENOVATIONS is a standalone, small-town steamy romance novella destined to give you all the feels!

    I return to Riordan’s Cove, angry and adrift. Wanting to punch a hole through the wall every time someone looks at me with pity in their eyes, I distance myself from my family and drown my sorrows.I’m knocked on my rear, literally, by the adorable, nerdy waitress trying her best to juggle the wild crowd in the rowdy bar. Who in the hell hired her to work in a dump like this? When she looks up at me and bites her lip, my worries about what I’ve lost flee my mind, and I suddenly want to play a whole new game—scoring the girl who’s just captured my heart.It won’t be easy. She thinks I’m a dumb jock who’s not worth her time. Now, I need to prove to Gina that I’m serious and in love.Scoring Gina is the most important play I’ve ever made.
