About this audiobook
Cleo Marchetti came home to sell her mother's house. Somebody had already bought it.
Jonah Reyes is fifty-seven, the contractor who built the back addition when Cleo was twelve, and the man who bought the house at auction to keep it out of a developer's hands. He didn't know it was hers. She doesn't believe him, at first, and then she does, and that's worse.
They make a deal: five months, one restoration, split proceeds. Neither of them says out loud that five months is a long time to spend in a house where they both know where the creaky floorboards are.
Her mother left letters Cleo wasn't supposed to find. Jonah left marks on a doorframe twenty years ago that he has been quietly not painting over. Somewhere between the wiring and the plaster, the deal stops being about the house.
An age gap second chance romance about old wood, older silences, and asking for something at the end of a negotiation.
