A home renovation…
Could change this friendship forever

Heidi Welch has her eye on the perfect home…until Reid Masterson buys it! Now Heidi has one last chance to get back the home of her dreams from her childhood friend and longtime crush. If she helps Reid with the renovations, he'll sell her the house. But “just friends” seems just about impossible…especially when friendship keeps getting in the way of falling in love.





Gayle Ann pursed her lips in disapproval, then said, “Reid, I only want the best for you.”

“And that means a woman in my life?”

“Look how besotted your brother is.”

“I’m happy for Logan, but I’m not looking.”

“Exactly. That’s why I took the liberty of printing out a list of potential dates for the engagement party.”

His eyes went wide and he choked. “You did what?” He hadn’t thought she’d go that far, but Logan had warned him.

“I can’t leave something this important up to you,” she said in an annoyed tone.

“Grandmother, I’m more than capable of asking a woman to the party.”

“Have you asked anyone?”

He uncrossed his leg. Shifted in his seat. “Not yet.”

“The party is just over a week away.”

“I still have time.”

“Not if you want said woman to have time to prepare.” His grandmother took a piece of paper from the end table beside her and passed it over.

When he took it, a list of names in very neat rows met his gaze. This can’t be happening.

“It is indeed, young man.”

He’d said that out loud? “Grandmother, this is crossing the line, not to mention insulting.”

“Didn’t I just have a birthday?”

He frowned. “Yes, but what’s that got to do with anything?”

“I’m not getting any younger. I want to see you happy. Married. Preferably with a great-grandchild I can hug before I’m ancient.”

He blew out a breath and dropped the paper on the cushion beside him. “I’ll find my own date.”

Grandmother pointed at the page. “But those women are friends of the family.”

Exactly why he wouldn’t date them. They were part of the family history and therefore a reminder of what he’d lost by leaving Masterson Enterprises.

She continued to sell the idea. “They are kind, well-educated and have good jobs.”

Still wasn’t happening.

“Can you come up with a better list of candidates?”

He cringed. “Candidates?”

“Dates. I mean dates.”
