To Be With You by Daphne Abbott

I need help. Between the local historical society’s red tape choking the renovation of my Victorian manor and the stipulations of my great aunt’s will requiring me to work on a special side project, I need the guidance of a specific type of expert. Good news is I know a guy. Bad news is I broke Callum Waite’s heart fifteen years ago, and he’s never let me apologize.

I left Eagle Creek after high school graduation to pursue my dream and not just because my confession of love to Olivia Van Ess went nowhere. Since leaving, I’ve made a name for myself as a preservation architect specializing in Victorian homes. When I get Olivia’s request for help, my ego—and my meddling mom—won’t let me say no.

Despite our initial unease with each other, I intervene to keep Olivia safe when weird things happen at the manor. But it’s not long before the proximity has me wondering if this is our second chance. Or will old hurts and circumstances beyond our control tear us apart for good?
