Book excerpt: One special cottage brings together two fixer-uppers in this delightfully sweet small-town romance. ​ As the youngest of three sisters, CeCe Shipley is eager to make her own space in the world. She even has the perfect place in mind—the cottage on Hollyhock Lane–until it's sold to someone else. When the new and irritatingly sexy owner offers to hire CeCe as a historic consultant, she hops at the chance to influence his plans. Though Dustin Long has been searching for a sense of home since childhood, that’s not why he bought the Hollyhock cottage. He plans to flip it and use the money to launch his construction business. And while every reno project comes with unexpected developments, CeCe beats them all—she’s as headstrong as she is gorgeous. As they restore the cottage to its former glory, Dustin realizes they’re also building something new together. Could CeCe be the home Dustin’s always wanted?
