Maggie Nichols, a house-flipping sensation with millions of followers, is used to moving from one project to the next. She never stays in one place, never lets herself get attached. But when she arrives in Kinship, Idaho, to renovate a crumbling Victorian mansion, she meets landscaper Silas Wright — charming, persistent, and determined to prove that Maggie doesn’t always have to move on. As sparks fly and secrets unravel, Maggie must decide if she’s ready to build a life instead of just houses.
