Do Me a Favor
Cathy Yardley
A widowed cookbook ghostwriter and her charming handyman neighbour discover it's never too late for a fresh start.
Description
Willa Lieu-Endicott moved from California to the Pacific Northwest to start over. Since her husband’s death, she’s been struggling to get back her old career as a cookbook ghostwriter. Unfortunately, her latest project—ghostwriting for a viral cooking sensation known more for his washboard abs than his meals—has her stuck. Until she meets her new neighbor. Hudson Clark, the handyman next door, lives on a farm with his parents and two adult children. He’s the opposite of everything she’s ever known. His happily chaotic life includes biker barbecues, an escape artist dog, and adorably menacing goats. He’s also got a sinfully sexy smile and a rumbling bass voice that makes her shiver. He inspires her. From their first meeting, the two fall into an escalating cycle of favors, paybacks...and attraction, even though Willa’s trying to keep her distance. They both have their own pasts to deal with. Now, they just have to figure out if they have a future. A delectable rom-com about a widowed cookbook writer and a divorced handyman who find that it’s never too late for a fresh start.
