Family first. That motto has ruled Angie Corcarelliâs life since she took over her beloved late fatherâs construction business. When she discovers a new highway project will destroy the homes he once helped build, sheâll fight passionately to protect his legacyâeven if it means battling her best friendâs stuffy and infuriating ex.
Stuart Perrault also knows a thing or two about family allegiance. For the past fifteen years, heâs worked hard for his familyâs engineering firm, waiting for the day heâd be named CEO. But a recent botched project has shaken his fatherâs faith in him. The last thing he needs now is a loose cannon like Angie interfering with the new highway plans.
When Stuartâs father insists he wine and dine Angie to change her mind, he reluctantly obliges, but soon wonders if heâs bitten off more than he can chew. The fiery carpenter isnât as irrational as he expected, and she has a knack for making his strident self-control unravel.
The more time Angie spends with Stuart, the harder it is to see him as the cold, calculating guy sheâd believed him to be. But falling for each other would mean disloyalty to their respective families. Are their feelings strong enough to warrant challenging their family ties?
