You’ve just come out of a messy divorce, emotionally bruised but determined to start over. Instead of selling the crumbling duplex your aunt left you, you decide to stay; to rebuild the place from the ground up. Everyone thinks you’re crazy. Except him, the contractor you hired.

He’s rugged. Quietly confident. With a dry sense of humour and a rough edge that masks something gentler. He sees right through your defenses from the start.

As the days pass, tension simmers in every unfinished room. He makes you feel seen in a way that terrifies you and turns you on. And when the storm rolls in one night and he shows up at your door just to check on you… everything changes.

This isn’t just about sex. This is about comfort. Healing. Safety. Someone finally holding you and meaning it.

You’re not the only thing under renovation anymore.
