When a newly heartbroken single mum moves to a small Scottish town hoping to outrun her past, the last thing she needs is the charming, annoyingly helpful builder next door who seems determined to tear down every wall she's carefully constructed. Struan is everything that should scare her—too good-looking, too smooth, too good with her daughter, and way too good at making her laugh when she's determined not to let anyone in again. But as he keeps showing up to fix things she didn't ask him to fix (and catches her when she literally falls off chairs), pretending she's not falling for him becomes almost impossible. With her trust shattered and her heart still healing, she'll have to decide whether self-protection is really living, or if this particular builder might actually be the real deal.
