Finding Mr. Fixit
When Sylvie Tucker inherits her aunt’s fixer-upper, the timing is perfect. She's ready to escape her past and the man who left her heart and finances in tatters. She finds the perfect Victorian style home in a friendly neighbourhood, a job she loves in a special care home and a chance to start over. Her life is definitely looking up.
Excited, she hires handyman Jake Owen. He's handsome, smart and makes her heart pound. But she can't risk involvement with another handsome man when all she wants is to start over and be happy with her life.
For his part, Jake can repair anything except his own heartbreak when his fiancée left him for her ex years ago. He'd loved her, believed in her, only to discover that she had a different plan, one that didn't include him. Now, he's suspicious of any woman he's attracted to because he can't trust his judgement where women are concerned.
As Jake restores her house’s fading grandeur, they get to know each other a little. They are drawn together by their love of older homes and food, making their time together very intimate. Intimate, but emotionally dangerous.
Yet, Sylvie enjoys having a ruggedly handsome man around. It feels so right. But having him around reminds of her past and how wrong things turned out.
Meanwhile, the more time Jake spends with Sylvie, he realizes he wants to know more about this beautiful, compassionate woman. She gives such loving care to his granddad in the special care home, and she's so determined to do right by everyone.
Still, he's not sure... Until the day in the local coffee shop, when a chance encounter with his ex-fiancée nearly destroys his relationship with Sylvie.

About the author
Stella Maclean
32 books142 followersI fell in love with reading at a very early age, mostly because my mother was a school teacher and she insisted that my sisters and I be able to read really well. It wasn't until a career change that I was able to embrace my joy of writing. I'm happiest when I'm writing. I will always write. I can't help myself.
