Restoring Us: A Small Town Grumpy Sunshine Contractor Romance (Handled By Him)

She inherited a drowning bakery. He’s the silent contractor who refuses to let her sink.

Frannie left a ruined city career for a fresh start, only to inherit a small-town bakery that’s actively trying to take her out. Between exploding boilers and rotting display cases, she is drowning—literally. That is, until Tyrel Anderson steps in.

Ty is massive, quiet, and has a frustrating habit of fixing her disasters before she even has to ask. But Frannie learned the hard way that "help" always comes with a heavy price tag, and she refuses to let another man hold her debts over her head. She is determined to run this business on her own.

Ty doesn’t keep a ledger, though. He just wants to carry her weight. He's been watching the fiery, flour-dusted baker since the day she arrived, and he has already decided she's his to take care of.

As the sparks fly and the town's grand opening looms, Frannie has to make a choice: keep her independent walls firmly in place, or finally lean on the man who promises he never puts things down.
