Katharine Evans is a beautiful but reclusive writer who's determined to keep the world at bay. Growing up alongside a sibling with Down Syndrome had shown her early how cruel people could be, so she's built up her walls... emotionally and literally. From her tree enshrouded lake-house where she writes her Young Adult book series to her refusal to meet her neighbors, Katharine does everything in her power to protect her perfectly secluded life. The only person she makes time for is her older brother, Nate, whom she adores. As far as she cares, life is just the way she wanted it.But everything is about to change...Mitch Ford is the charismatic, dashingly handsome host of the wildly popular, reality series, The Rebuilder-and he's about to turn Katharine's world upside down. His crew arrives at her next-door neighbor's house to rebuild his dilapidated home, setting off a chain of events that seem to always leave one or both of them wet, dirty, or humiliated. At first amused by Katherine's attitude, Mitch soon becomes exasperated, frustrated, and very distracted by her. Sparks fly as these two have one catastrophic meeting after another. They both know there's something going on between them... but will they ever stop fighting long enough to connect? Find out in this classic style romantic comedy, set in the real-life charming town of East Hampton, Connecticut on Lake Pocotopaug & featuring some of the local attractions.FIVE STARS!
