The Beach House Bet (Coming in April)

Ava Langley wasn’t expecting to inherit a crumbling beach house from an aunt she barely knew, and she definitely wasn’t expecting the infuriatingly handsome handyman standing on the porch, arms crossed, telling her to burn it down and start over.

Wes Rogers has seen this kind of thing before—someone arrives with big dreams and no clue what they’re doing, full of hopeful plans and bad renovation ideas, only to sell the place when reality (and a leaky roof) sets in. He gives Ava one week before she throws in the towel. She gives him one chance to prove her wrong.

The deal? He’ll teach her how to fix the place—on his terms. No shortcuts. No disasters. And definitely no catching feelings.

But as sparks fly and sawdust settles, Ava starts to wonder if this house isn’t the only thing getting a second chance. And Wes? He’s starting to think some bets are worth losing.
