Sweet Do-Over

A marriage proposal gone wrong—and a second chance to get it right.

When practical, cautious architect Marley Patterson started dating fun-loving contractor Von Ryan, she never expected him to drop to one knee after only six months. Panicked by the serious commitment and convinced they are just too different, she breaks his heart and walks away.

Von blames himself for not reading the signs, throwing himself into his successful construction company to heal. He still wants a woman to share his life with, but this time, he's determined to be patient and let love develop on its own.

The stakes are raised when Marley is unexpectedly assigned to Von’s new project in Indigo Bay. Forced to work side-by-side, Von treats her with a respectful, strictly professional distance—even though neither can deny the strong mutual attraction still burning between them. As they collaborate, Marley realizes her own fears might have been the real problem in their relationship. Now, she desperately wants another shot at forever, but the romantic conflict is clear: after breaking his heart once, can she convince him to risk it all on a do-over?
