Second Story (Love in New Bedford #3)
Delilah Peters

Accidental carpenter Astrid Martin loves antique homes with beautiful bones, her father's fifteen-pound poodle, and other people's adorable children. She detests wet basements, crooked socks, and Henry Webster.
First, he kissed and ditched her the summer after high school. Then, a few years later, he ruined her life with a traffic stop. Astrid's bright, shining future? Gone. Good girl reputation? Trashed. Public humiliation level? Through the roof!
So when an older, wiser, sexier, and newly-single Henry attempts to hire her to renovate a moldering old farmhouse on the outskirts of town, Astrid's first impulse is to tell him to take his period fireplace and shove it. But then he throws something unexpected on the table...
Redemption.
In exchange for rehabbing his house, Henry will do everything in his considerable power to clear Astrid's name and restore her reputation. All she has to do is swing her hammer and get the job done without losing her heart.
Quirky and fun—with cute kids and epic besties—Second Story is Book 3 in the Love in New Bedford Series. Like all of Delilah's stories, this book includes characters with issues and insecurities. They make mistakes, even when their hearts are in the right place, but the HEAs are guaranteed.
