About this ebook
Stella Monroe has built her career on control, perfection, and impossible deadlines. But when a freak fire destroys the historic venue for her biggest celebrity wedding, she has just 80 hours to save the wedding—and her company.
There is only one man in the Hudson Valley capable of rebuilding the venue in time: Noah Hayes, a rugged small-town carpenter and Stella's former fiancé.
Five years ago, Noah broke Stella's heart and refused to follow her to New York. Now she needs him more than ever.
Noah agrees to rebuild the venue, but on one condition: Stella has to trade her designer heels for steel-toed boots, surrender her phone, and work alongside his crew until the final nail is hammered in.
Forced into close quarters, old wounds begin to crack—and so does the attraction they've spent five years trying to bury. Between construction disasters, an eccentric celebrity bride, missing vendors, and a town determined to help, Stella and Noah discover that their chemistry never really disappeared.
Then Stella finds a child's toys in Noah's truck and assumes he has built the family they once dreamed of with someone else.
The truth changes everything.
As the wedding countdown races toward zero, Stella must decide whether the life she spent years building is really the life she wants—and whether she can forgive the man who broke her heart because he thought he was protecting her.
Sometimes love doesn't need to be found. It needs to be rebuilt.
Salvaging "I Do" is a heartfelt and hilarious second-chance romance featuring a small-town carpenter, a fiercely ambitious wedding planner, forced proximity, found family, wedding-day chaos, and a love worth rebuilding from the ashes.
