Low Tide

The only man who can save your sinking inn is your brother's best friend. Six weeks, one working bathroom, and his hands all over the house.

Your grandmother leaves you an inn with a flooding cellar and a mortgage payment due before you can get it ready to sell. The only contractor willing to take it on is Eli Poole, your brother's best friend, who barely spoke to you growing up and said quite enough the night before you left town. Now he is back on the porch with bigger forearms, your usual coffee, and six weeks of repairs that will put him in the house every day. You came home to settle the estate and catch the ferry back to your life. He keeps talking about what the place could be, and remembering things you wish he'd forgotten.
