A steamy small-town romance with secrets, sawdust, and second chances. Holly Dawson has a secret. The kind that has big blue eyes, a dimpled smile, and the same crooked grin as the man who doesn’t even know he’s a father. Years ago, Holly and Jack Rivers were childhood pen pals who shared everything—until one unforgettable Spring Break night changed everything. Her parents tore them apart, raising her baby as their own so she could chase the future they planned for her. But now? Holly’s back, with a hammer in one hand and a plan in the other. When she answers Jack’s ad for a live-in assistant, she has one figure out if the gruff, gorgeous carpenter is the kind of man she can finally trust—with her truth... and her son. What she doesn’t expect? Jack asking her to play his fake girlfriend at a friend’s wedding to get everyone off his back about being alone. But there’s nothing fake about the way his touch sets her on fire. Nothing fake about the way he looks at her like she’s already his. She came looking for answers. What she finds is a man determined to claim what’s his—and maybe a second chance at the kind of love she thought she’d lost forever. Filled with flirty banter, jaw-dropping reveals, and heart-melting heat, The Carpenter’s Secret Baby is a must-read for anyone who believes love can be built from the ground up.
