So what if twenty years of neglect has left the building in need of a major renovation? Seduced by Mai’s charm and determination, hard-edged contractor Dale Miller agrees to take on her renovation project. After a spring storm causes significant damage to the building and renovation costs exceed Mai’s budget, Dale offers her a deal, but is it a price Mai is willing to pay?
