Everly Heath

When self-proclaimed failure Kat moves hundreds of miles to renovate her late Dad’s house, falling in love with the grumpy builder wasn’t part of the plan…

Kat Williams is well and truly in a rut. She’s lost her mojo at work, her estranged dad has passed away, and she royally messed up the eulogy at his funeral after a grumpy, stubborn man stole her parking space and made her late. When her boss suggests she takes a two month sabbatical, Kat moves hundreds of miles to the small Mancunian town of Everly Heath to refurbish her father’s childhood home she’s inherited. She thinks it will be a quick fixer-upper; a bit of paint, some new carpet and then she can sell up and return to her life in London, profit in hand. She is determined to make the renovation a success and not let her lingering resentment towards her dad or her ADHD goblin distract her.

But Kat arrives in Everly Heath to find her dad’s house is falling apart and completely uninhabitable. Worse still, the grumpy builder, Liam, who Kat’s well-meaning extended family have enlisted to manage the reno, is none other than the grouch who stole her parking space on the day of the funeral. Near breaking point, Liam offers Kat an olive branch in a place to stay at his while the worst of the repairs take place. Now living under one roof, sparks fly over faulty wiring and Liam shows Kat a whole new perspective on life. But a shattering secret of Liam’s threatens to sever any connection they’ve built.

Will Kat have the courage to stay or are this grumpy-sunshine duo not meant to be after all?
