Her Fixer Upper: A BWWM Romance

Buying this Victorian fixer-upper was supposed to be my path to peace, a sanctuary where I could finally embrace my passion for painting. Enter Austin Malone, the third contractor I've interviewed and the only one who’s managed to turn my skepticism into curiosity with just one look.

His easy smile and rugged handsomeness are distractions I don’t need, yet can’t seem to resist. As we work together on my dream home, I find myself drawn to his quiet strength and surprising vulnerability, especially when he opens up about his struggles with his mother’s care.



When I walked into Amira Washington’s Victorian house, I saw potential—not just in the structure, but in her. She’s tough, dedicated, and absolutely stunning, even when she’s giving me her most professional glare. Amira doesn’t need another distraction, and neither do I, especially with my mom’s senior living facility causing constant headaches.

But as we tackle one renovation challenge after another, I see glimpses of the artist she hides beneath her lawyer exterior. Peeling back the layers of this old house, we uncover more than just history—we discover a connection that neither of us saw coming. And the more time we spend together, the harder it is to keep my feelings professional.

Can we repair the cracks in our hearts and create a solid foundation for love?
