Undone by Her

She came to flip a house. She didn’t expect the house — or the contractor — to flip her.

Renee Vale doesn’t do messy. As the CFO of a Chicago tech firm, she runs her life the way she runs a balance sheet — clean, controlled, optimized. When she inherits her grandmother’s crumbling craftsman house in a small Michigan lake town, the plan is simple: renovate fast, sell, forget.

Joss Calder doesn’t do temporary. As the town’s only contractor worth hiring, she’s spent twenty years building beautiful things for other people — and watching every one of them leave. When the polished executive with the clipboard and the impossible timeline shows up, Joss expects another job. Not the woman who will take a sledgehammer to every wall she’s built around her heart.

As the renovation uncovers the house’s hidden history — love letters in the walls, a handmade quilt in the attic, wildflowers carved into the kitchen cabinets — Renee begins to unravel. The controlled woman who scheduled her feelings and optimized her grief starts to remember the barefoot girl she used to be. And Joss, the woman everyone wants but nobody keeps, starts to wonder if this time might be different.

But Renee’s career is in Chicago. Joss’s life is in Linden Falls. And the house between them holds secrets that will either bring them together or break them apart.
