Description

She came home to sell the cottage. She didn’t plan on hiring the man who broke her heart.

Nora Bennett has three weeks to clear out her late grandmother’s lakeside cottage, get it listed, and drive back to her life in Chicago. She has a plan and a list to go with it.

What she doesn’t have is hot water, a deck she can safely walk on, or a cat who likes her.

And the only handyman in Moonshire Bay is Owen Harmon. Eighteen years ago she asked him to come with her. He said “I can’t” and let her drive away.

Owen has never stopped wondering what might have been. Now Nora is back, the repairs are piling up, and the clock is ticking. When a full-price offer lands on the house, they’ll both have to face the truth they’ve avoided for half their lives.

Some things can’t be crossed off a list.

A sweet, heartwarming second-chance romance short story set in the small lakeside town of Moonshire Bay.
