Knox:

I restore historic buildings, not relationships. My life is about precise measurements and perfect joints, not messy emotions or publicity stunts. But when the quirky reporter across the hall convinces me to join a bachelor charity auction to save Portland’s historic buildings, my carefully constructed world starts to crack. Lark sees past my gruff exterior, understands my passion for preservation, and makes me want things I’ve spent years avoiding. Now she’s writing articles about me, turning me into some kind of local celebrity, and I’m torn between my growing feelings and my need for privacy. When I discover she’s been studying me for months, I have to decide: can I trust her with my heart, or am I just another story for her to tell? Because this curvy, vintage-loving journalist is becoming harder to resist, and I’m starting to think some things are worth the risk of being broken.
