When a TV competition gives ambitious Bethany Castle the chance to finally prove herself in her family's real estate business, she jumps at it—even if it means partnering with the infuriatingly charming Texas construction worker, Wes Daniels, who's been under her skin since day one. As these two strong-willed personalities are forced into close quarters renovating the town's most disaster of a house, their sharp banter and heated chemistry create something neither of them expected: an undeniable spark that threatens to upend Bethany's carefully controlled world. With Wes bringing out a side of her she's kept locked away and Bethany making the cocky cowboy question everything, their enemies-to-lovers journey is pure, swoon-worthy chaos. This witty, heartfelt rom-com proves that sometimes the best things in life—and love—require a little demolition first.
