1-800-CUPID: A Sweet Contemporary Romance Novella

What if the person trying to take away your dream… was the very one meant to help you build it?

Candee Contando has poured her last dollar into a crumbling Victorian on the edge of Roses, North Carolina — not to flip it, but to turn it into a safe haven for kids who grew up the way she did, with nothing and no one. She's close. Then Teddy Winchester walks through the door.

He's everything she doesn't need. Big-city. Guarded. Grieving his brother and suddenly raising a young nephew he never planned for. Teddy's here for a quick profit, not a fresh start. But Candee stops him cold by her stubbornness, her laughter, and the way she fights for a house most people would have walked away from.

As the walls come down, literally and otherwise, neither of them can pretend this is just business anymore. She steadies him. He sees her. But old wounds don't heal on a contractor's timeline, and when the past resurfaces, they'll both have to choose: walk away intact or risk everything for a love that feels like coming home.

She's saving the house. He might save her heart.
