Recently divorced and down on her luck, Lesley DeLoach is determined to make a new life for herself. When she inherits her great aunt's estate, Rosalyn Manor, her future seems to be heading in the right direction—until she sees the home's crumbling skeleton.
Widower John Hambrice is barely keeping his construction company afloat and his children fed, so when he's offered a job restoring the Rosalyn Manor, he can't turn it down. But the big city client with the high falutin lifestyle reminds him too much of the last time he was burned by big money.
As the summer temperatures rise, so does their attraction. He learns there's more to the city girl than he expected, while she learns the country boy's gruff exterior hides a heart of gold. But each has lost so much in love already...is the chance of another broken heart worth the risk?
