From the publisher: "For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, she’s been focused on her career—her friends might say she’s obsessed, but she knows she’s just driven. When Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn’s renovation, which will be featured on a popular HGTV show, Innside America, Astrid is thrilled. However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Pru’s granddaughter and the lead carpenter for the renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family’s inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrid’s perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension. But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means."

Small town bookstore owner and big city photographer meet (again) in this fun-yet-emotional romance novel. When Delilah Green breezes into town, Claire Sutherland automatically bristles. Prickly Delilah and controlling Claire are far from perfect, and they know just how to bug each other—but as they navigate growing feelings for each other, and plenty of drama in their other relationships—their initial ill will towards one another falls away. Our romance aficionado Leigh Kramer harbors STRONG feelings about these characters and the significant growth they undergo over the course of this swoony story. Spoiler alert: Delilah Green actually does care…it just takes her awhile to realize it. With endearing side characters, snarky dialogue, and a few bookstore scenes, this emotionally complex (open door) romance will capture your heart.
