One man looking to set down roots, the other looking to leave…
 
Fresh out of a relationship, Nate’s searching for a change—what better way is there than renovating his uncle’s old coffee shop in Chesapeake City? He has a new job, in a new town, and a new lease. And when he almost runs over his hot neighbor, Linc, who happens to be his contractor? Well, based on the explosive attraction between them, maybe he’ll find something new there too.
 
Linc’s been treading water ever since his wife passed away in childbirth, focusing all of his energy on raising his son, Beckett. The obvious solution? He needs to get the hell out of Chesapeake City. But when Nate charmingly fumbles his way into Linc’s life, he finds his defenses lowering for the first time in years. One date leads to another, and hell, this man makes him feel in ways he’d forgotten.
 
Even though Nate just finished piecing his heart back together, he falls fast. Yet Linc’s made it clear he’s a bad bet. The man hasn’t clicked with anyone since his wife, and if Nate ends up being "not enough" again, that won’t shatter just his heart—the fragile home he’s trying to build in this town will crumble too.

 Available now! 

When Nate arrives in town to take over the running of his uncle's coffee shop, he makes a great first impression by nearly running over Lincoln. He makes an even better second and third impression, especially as Lincoln is the guy he has hired to renovate the coffee shop.

Lincoln is a widower trying to keep things together for his cute as a button son Beckett. Lincoln feels stuck in a rut with not much opportunity to grow his business in the small town, and constant reminders of his deceased wife. Nate awakens something 

Nate is a very special man. He is patient, caring and compassionate. He encourages Lincoln to embrace his past and to start moving forward with his life again. At the same time he embraces Beckett and provides a strength, empathy and understanding that the little boy needs. Lincoln brings out a confidence in Nate that has been lacking since his ex told he wasn't relationship material. Their attraction and chemistry is undeniable. 

This was a sweet and heart-warming read. It felt like home: cosy, warm and calm. I loved these two and how they brought out the best in the other.
