When my apartment floods, the island's notorious bad boy insists I move in with him

Falling for Kinsley—the gorgeous, off-limits single mom who works for my family's construction company—was not part of the plan.

But when I need help renovating my fixer-upper, she's the only one I want.
And when life throws her a curveball and she needs a place to stay?
I offer her and her little girl a room… and suddenly, they're turning my house into something dangerously close to a home.

Now I'm breaking every rule I set for myself—because staying away from Kinsley? Impossible.

But the real problem? Her daughter has me wrapped around her tiny finger… and walking away from them might not be something I'm strong enough to do.

A steamy small-town beach single mom roommates to lovers romance featuring a reformed bad boy hero, forced proximity, and workplace tension, this story delivers opposites attract sparks and found family feels. Expect emotional slow burn, protective hero vibes, adorable kid moments, healing past wounds, and a swoony "off-limits" love that turns a fixer-upper house—and a guarded heart—into a forever home.
