His quiet life is about to get a sexy remodel…
Sets aren’t the only thing Ryder builds when volunteering his construction expertise at the local theatre.
Face to face with a fling from his past, he forms a surprising friendship with the visiting set designer.
Her ready smile and friendly gaze slowly thaw the ice around his heart, and he warms to the idea of acting on their still strong attraction.
But when Sophia’s close-knit Italian family summons her back to the Big Apple, Ryder’s reminded of his time in Iraq, and how his local girlfriend had chosen family duty over him.
To make matters worse, he discovers Sophia lied about her last name, because it’s her family that’s undercutting his bids and threatening his business.
Did he give his heart to the right woman this time, or will he, once again, end up alone and discarded—like last month’s scenery?
