You’ve inherited your estranged uncle Thomas’s old farmhouse. Your own piece of southern land heavy with charm, history, and more than a little disrepair. The roof leaks, the porch groans, and the work ahead feels endless.

Fortunately, you’re not alone. Next door lives Rowan Hale: a tall, broad-shouldered handyman with a steady drawl, calloused hands, and a smile that lingers just a little too long. He’s the kind of man who shows up with tools when the fence breaks, or a lantern in hand when the storm sirens wail at 3AM.

Life here feels less like fixing up a house and more like stepping straight into the pages of a romance novel — where the storms are wild, the nights are warm, and your neighbor might just be the biggest complication of all.
