Everyone loves a fixer-upper.

Jen's love life is in shambles

Jen Fraser finally loses it with her deadbeat boyfriend when she walks in on him with another woman. Furious, she kicks him to the curb then hires a handyman to pack up all his stuff. Jen is finished with love, and men in general, but would making out with the cute handyman be such a bad idea? It's not like she'll ever see him again.

Ryan is a work in progress

When Ryan Sacks is hired to pack up Jen's ex's belongings, he decides he's far more interested in her than a stack of boxes. Cute, feisty, and smart as hell, he's intrigued by this woman who suddenly appeared in his life. All about the good time, Ryan sees no harm in a quick make-out session-you know, just to cheer her up.

But what happens when they're forced to play house?

To get her mind off things, Jen hires someone to do a refresh on her cottage and her friend Lainey offers up her empty cabin as a place to stay. Unbeknownst to them, Lainey's boyfriend, Logan, has already offered the same cabin to Ryan in exchange for doing some overdue repairs around the house. Despite being thrust together, they fall into an easy camaraderie. But when friendship grows into something more, neither is brave enough to make a move.

Will one of them make an offer before it's too late?
