Wade Mason doesn't believe in love.



Unfortunately, he's exactly the kind of man who makes a woman, specifically me, believe in it.



The grumpy architect behind my dream home is brilliant, stubborn, frustratingly attractive, and completely uninterested in anything resembling romance. Which should be fine because we're working together—not dating.



Except he insists on in-person meetings.



He watches me when he thinks I'm not looking.



And every time we're in the same room, the chemistry between us is impossible to ignore.



The more time I spend with Wade, the more convinced I become that there's a reason he's built his life behind walls no one can get through … and the more determined I am to figure out why.



But a surprise neither of us sees coming changes everything.



Suddenly, the future we're designing together isn't just about blueprints and floor plans. It's about whether two people who never planned on forever can build a life they never expected.
