When Manhattan marketing executive Renee Bentley's corporate world crumbles, she flees to the Tennessee mountains after purchasing her great-aunt's abandoned Christmas inn and a heart full of desperate hope.

What she doesn't expect is Jake Morrison, the reformed bad boy contractor who's spent twelve years proving he's nothing like the reckless quarterback she barely knew in high school. As hammer strikes and heartbeats keep time together, Renee discovers that some renovations require more than blueprints and building permits.
