Fixer Upper: A Lesbian Romance Novel - Paperback

by Cara Malone (Author)

Some things can be fixed with duct tape. A broken heart isn't one of them.

Avery Blake is a contractor who prefers houses to people. Living alone in the Indiana countryside, she keeps her emotions under lock and key-and her neighbors at arm's length. After watching her elderly friend Nora lose the love of her life to controlling family members, Avery has learned her lesson: love is just another thing that falls apart.

Hannah Grayson isn't looking for love either. She's just looking for a safe place to land after escaping a toxic relationship in New York. When her great-aunt Nora leaves her a rundown farmhouse, Hannah flees to rural Indiana with nothing but a suitcase and a bruised heart.

The house is a disaster. Nora's grandkids want her gone. And the intimidating woman across the street-Avery-seems determined to hate her. But when a pipe bursts on Hannah's first night, she's forced to knock on Avery's door and ask for help.

What begins as a reluctant act of neighborly duty slowly turns into late-night repairs, coffee-fueled banter, and a connection neither of them saw coming.

Fixer Upper is a slow-burn sapphic romance about starting over, letting someone in, and discovering that sometimes the best things in life are built-not found.
