RENOVATIONS
After the divorce, Toby Archer turned to flipping houses to fill the hours he couldn’t see his little girls. Finding a contractor to make his dream homes shine was harder than he’d imagined, though, maybe harder than finding a new significant other. When Ven Parrish shows up, Toby knows the man is going to be a great contractor and he plans to have Ven back again and again. But the way Ven looks—the way Ven makes Toby feel—might complicate things.
To Ven, Toby is more than a fair boss and a sharp dresser, he’s everything Ven didn’t know he wanted. Ven’s a working class man from a rambunctious family and Toby is a white-collar lawyer who has money to burn and a part-time family of his own. Ven’s hands are full with his developmentally-delayed brother and his five big dogs, anyway. He’s not going to risk his business—the business that employs his brother, father, cousins, and family friends—just to get his hands on Toby.
When one thing leads to another, they find out that no matter how much they think they have to lose, they have so much more to gain.
