When your past becomes your forever…

After years of designing breathtaking wineries for the DeLuca family—and the occasional not-so-glamorous walk-in closet on the side—Abby DeLuca is done playing it safe. Newly single and determined to prove she’s more than just the family decorator, Abby lands the career opportunity of a lifetime and refuses to let anything derail her rise to the top of the design world. Not distractions. Not doubts. And definitely not the devastatingly handsome contractor who broke her heart years ago and still makes her knees wobble every time he walks into a room with that tool belt slung low on his hips.

Former NFL star Jack “Hard Hammer” Tanner traded stadium lights for construction sites, spending his days renovating St. Helena’s most beautiful homes—and charming their owners while he’s at it. Commitment has never been his style…until Abby storms back into his life looking smarter, stronger, and sexier than ever. Suddenly Jack isn’t interested in quick fixes—he wants to rebuild the one thing he regrets losing most: her heart. But when a once-in-a-lifetime job offer threatens to pull him away, Jack must decide if he’s chasing the wrong dream or if the only future worth building is the one that starts with Abby.
