Sunshine and Sawdust: A Hearts of Briar Creek Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255260584)

A weathered barn in a small Georgia town.
A woman determined to restore it and prove she belongs.
And the grumpy contractor who might be the only one who can help her do it.

Aurora "Rory" Jameson arrives in Briar Creek with a dream: restore Bellamy Barn and turn it into the town's next wedding venue. What she buys instead is a failing structure, a tight renovation budget, and plenty of locals convinced the project will collapse before the first wedding ever happens.

Cooper Sutton is the grumpy local contractor everyone trusts when a building needs saving. He knows Bellamy Barn has good bones. He also knows Rory's big-city ideas could wreck it completely.
Working side by side, Rory and Cooper clash over everything from reclaimed beams to fairy lights. Long days on ladders and late nights covered in sawdust slowly turn their arguments into something far more dangerous.

The problem: Rory isn't walking away from Briar Creek or the barn she's rebuilding. Cooper has spent years keeping his distance from anything that might matter too much. Letting Rory close means risking the one thing he's determined to protect-his own heart.
