Jenna Sutton celebrated her twenty-first birthday by persuading Trent Wagoner, the guy she'd been crushing on for months, to sleep with her. When he broke her heart and crushed her dreams by rejecting her afterward, a devastated Jenna tried to end her life.
Trent has told his side of the story. So has Jenna's mom, and her cousin, and just about everyone else in the small Georgia town of Burton.
Now it's Jenna's turn.
Over two years later, Jenna's finally figuring out her life. Her job at the county historical society is steady and predictable, two elements she appreciates right now. She's living on her own, and her world is peaceful, if lonely.
That is, until Lincoln Turner comes to town.
When Linc's wife was killed in a car accident, she left him with two small children and a bleak future. Six years later, he's a recovering alcoholic who's just gotten his kids back and is ready to tackle a new position as co-owner of a building restoration company . . . in Burton.
Jenna isn't looking for love, and Linc definitely doesn't want any attachments. And neither of them are ready for the sparks that fly when a huge project brings them together. Still, the road to true love has more bumps than they could imagine. Making their way to a happy ending won't be easy.
But this is Burton, and happily-ever-afters are a specialty of the house.
