Handyman Special


Faith Everly - 2020
    What would you do? When Piper Drake takes a look at her grandfather's long-abandoned eyesore of a mansion, one thing comes to mind: a listing titled For Sale: One Handyman Special. That's before she meets the four hunky handymen Grandpa arranged to do the renovations. Childhood friend Carter, brooding Jace, golden boy Luke and sports-loving Trey are beyond fantasy-worthy... and Piper does more than her fair share of fantasizing. When her apartment building is sold and she has no choice but to move onto the property, it's four-on-one every day, with Piper wondering whether every pair of panties she owns is going to melt right off. Is she a wanton maniac, lusting after them like she does? Or is she onto something? Because after weeks of fighting the attraction, the guys reveal something she could never have imagined in her wildest fantasies. Does this good girl CEO have it in her to throw caution to the wind and accept all four of them into her life? HANDYMAN SPECIAL is Book One of Three in the Handymen Series, a Reverse Harem contemporary romance with plenty of comedy, drama and emotion. It is NOT a standalone and features a HFN ending in terms of the romantic relationships. The story extends over the course of the three books, but the devotion of Piper's hot handymen never wavers. The book features racy language and situations that might leave readers fanning themselves. Enjoy!
