By Your Side by Ashley Erin

Adeline
I wasn’t looking for love… but when my world collided with Owen’s, I found my second chance in a small town.
Owen is a man of many talents, and few words. Little did I know the grumpy contractor would be the one to make my grieving heart beat again.
I never dreamed repairing the crumbling walls of my house together would turn it into a home and become the foundation of our love story.

Adeline is a force of nature. Even after everything the beautiful widow has been through, her bright demeanor is like basking in the sunshine.
When I agreed to help with her renovations, it seemed like the neighborly thing to do. As days turn into weeks, I find myself falling for her.
Love happens when we least expect it, and I definitely wasn’t planning on her. Sometimes, life’s most beautiful surprises come from the heart’s quietest desires.
