Max Durrell is back in town but Aidy Jones needs a man who can fix a roof. Not one who will steal her heart. Again. The day Max Durrell books a room at The Grand Hotel, Aidy Jones, hotel manager, signs up for a dating service. Aidy knows what she needs and Max isn’t it.

Max has returned to Demerest Cove to accomplish a lifelong dream. The Grand isn’t on the market yet, but convincing the eccentric owners to sell should be a piece of cake. His brothers will take care of the transaction. Max’s job is to flirt with the owners’ daughter so she doesn’t interfere. Flirting is easy. It’s the friendship that’s the problem. He can’t help enjoying Aidy and while he’ll never fall in love again (Been there. Bought the tux. Bride never showed up.) he is falling in like with her. Deeply in like. But any day now, the sale will go through. And once Aidy learns Max is the one tearing her beloved hotel away from her, she’ll never want to set eyes on him again.
