Making Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998690112)

He may be her unexpected gift in this friends-to-lovers Mean Girls-inspired small town holiday romance.

Summer Michaels just wants to raise her son, get lost in a good book, and get through a shift at the café without her boss playing matchmaker. While she's the single mom her boss wants to set up, to everyone else, she's still their high school bully.

Except to sexy brewery owner Todd Kruger, she's more than the village's former mean girl. The one-time band geek and reformed prom queen have formed an unlikely friendship.

Though Summer isn't just a friend, and she's no longer the girl he had a crush on in high school. She's the woman he's falling for, and he's the man she won't let herself have. After a year of tiptoeing around their feelings, one dance at a wintery-themed wedding changes everything.

Summer debates whether she is ready for the next step with Todd. There's her son to think about. The impact of her reputation on Todd and his thriving business. The residue from the relationship [GB1] with her abusive ex. Not to mention the secret she carries that could threaten the life Todd wants to build with her and her son.

Will Summer unwrap her heart to build that life with Todd, or will she do what she's always done-hide?
