When the foundation cracks, sometimes you have to rebuild everything.
Hallie Thorne has spent three years turning Valentine’s Verge into the “Capital of Romance,” and the First Date Festival is supposed to be her crowning achievement. But just four days before opening, the town’s iconic Lovers’ Pavilion is collapsing—and if she cancels, the town’s future collapses with it.
Her only option is Roan Blackwood, a reclusive mountain carpenter who openly despises the romance industry. He builds things meant to last. She sells fairy tales. Neither expects to be trapped together by a blizzard, racing against time to save the pavilion.
As walls come down—both literal and emotional—Hallie sees the man beneath the scowl, and Roan sees the strength beneath the sparkle.
Fixing a floor is one thing. Building a relationship when she lives in the spotlight and he avoids it might take a miracle.
Or maybe just the right foundation.
