An unexpected inheritance brings them together. Can love bridge the years and secrets between them?
Inheriting my grandparents’ property felt more like a burden than a blessing. I was only twenty, lost in grief, and suddenly responsible for an old house and fields swallowed by weeds.
Determined to create something beautiful from the mess, I hired Lars, a Danish architect with big ideas for an eco-home. Twice my age and far too steady for the mess that was me, his quiet strength and kind eyes made it impossible not to fall.
As we worked side by side, boundaries blurred, and feelings grew that neither of us had planned for. But Lars carries a past he can’t quite outrun, and I can’t help wondering…
Can love built on uncertain ground survive, or is Lars’s past the one thing we can’t fix?
A sweet, steamy age-gap forced proximity romance about finding peace, rebuilding after loss, and daring to love again.
