Everyone's fought in a battle. Some just don't talk about it. Emmaline Bradshaw's trading her cubicle for the studs of a fixer-upper she's agreed to tackle for a sweet couple who live out-of-state. The challenge arises when she discovers a hole in the contract; one that pricks her pride and requires help outside of herself. Ashton Summers maintains the grounds of the family properties and can't believe his parents let an out-of-towner take on the timeworn rental near his house. The squad leader in him knows best, and surprises have never ended well for him. When this surly combat veteran and fiesty Virginian find their lives intertwining, will they let their erected pride win, or find a way to work together and discover that true peace begins on the inside? A story about finding humor in the hard times and the power of looking for the good.
