To create a future, occasionally you have to tear straight down the past….

Chicago event planner Libby Hamilton can change any bland placing right into a dramatic venue-but when she abruptly manages to lose her work, and her fair-weather boyfriend goes to another state, Libby suddenly discovers herself back in the small town she was raised in. Worse than that, her dad wants help changing a vintage schoolhouse into a vintage snow cream parlor and Libby must trade in her power matches for power equipment.

Widowed restoration specialist Tom Murphy can restore nearly anything-except the shattered relationship he shares along with his teenaged daughter. Employed by Libby’s father, Tom isn’t interested in sharing the facts of his personal life with gorgeous, spunky Libby. He simply wants to complete the job. But she actually is tenacious-and sexy-and it doesn’t consider long before she reduces his walls, builds up his hope, and gets a hold on his center that won’t let go.
