A mysterious business card tucked inside a letter sparks a sizzling fling between a jilted bride and the grumpy local handyman.

Hailey Higgins just got dumped at the altar-and she's nearly broke. Her only saving grace is a remote cabin a long-lost relative left her in the tiny mountain town of Starrycard Creek. It should be the perfect place to shut out the world and shun love. Under no circumstances should she want anything to do with the ruggedly handsome Finnegan Starrycard.

Finn is a growly, self-proclaimed bachelor for life. He's the local handyman. That's what it says on his business card. And this handyman has deemed her cabin to be uninhabitable.

Out of options, she can't say no when Finn offers her his spare bedroom while he makes the necessary repairs to her place. Two love-haters under one roof sounds ideal until a boozy night leads to an agreement. Roommates with benefits. All physical. No feelings. And heaven help her! This handyman works magic with his hands, his tongue, and his . . . well, you get it.

She cannot fall in love with Finnegan Starrycard-or the picturesque town, or his endearingly quirky family. Still, the longer she stays, the harder it is to ignore the chemistry between them.

In Starrycard Creek, the locals say love is always in the cards.

Hailey would like to think she's done with love.

But thanks to one grumpy handyman, love might not be done with her yet.
