Undone by Her: A Steamy Small-Town Sapphic Romance

Renee Vale builds walls. Joss Calder tears them down.

As the CFO of a major tech firm, Renee Vale's life is a perfectly optimized spreadsheet. There is no room for mess, no room for error, and absolutely no room for feelings. But when she inherits her grandmother’s crumbling craftsman house in the small lakeside town of Linden Falls, she’s forced to return to the one place she can't control. Her plan is simple: renovate, sell, and get back to Chicago in ten weeks.

Enter Joss Calder.

Joss is the best contractor in the county. She's also infuriatingly relaxed, effortlessly confident, and distractingly gorgeous. With her toolbelt, her calloused hands, and a smile that strips Renee's defenses bare, Joss doesn’t just see the bones of the old house—she sees right through Renee's armor.

When a plumbing disaster forces them to share a tiny upstairs hallway, the professional distance between them begins to crack. Joss is loud, she sings while she works, and she has a dangerous habit of making Renee feel alive for the first time in fifteen years. Soon, the sparks flying in the gutted kitchen ignite into a blazing, undeniable chemistry.

But Renee is leaving in ten weeks, and Joss is a woman who has always been treated as a temporary phase. As the house comes back together, Renee must decide if she’s willing to tear down the walls around her own heart—and let someone make her feel like home.

Undone by Her is a high-heat, emotional sapphic romance featuring intense forced proximity, an ice-queen executive, a swoon-worthy local contractor, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
