How to Annoy the Hometown Handyman (Hartwell Sisters)

Of all the contractors in town, it had to be him—the serious one with perfect forearms and a rule for everything.

I did not plan to spend my summer arguing with Everfield’s grumpiest handyman.
Grant Burke is all rules and measurements. I’m all color and chaos.
We clash. Constantly. Loudly. Spectacularly.

But the worst part?
He’s annoyingly attractive while he’s contradicting me.
Veins, rolled-up sleeves, forearms built by the heavens…
It’s rude, honestly.

We’re supposed to finish the town’s new gazebo together.
I want magic. He wants “structural integrity.”
Apparently those two things can’t coexist in his stubborn contractor brain.

And then everything in my life literally goes up in flames.
My loft. My art. My future.
Gone.

In the middle of the chaos, he’s the one who grabs my arm and says,
“You’re not going alone.”
