Sweat Equity - (Renovation Romance) by Aurora Rey (Paperback)

About the Book

When cheesemaker Sy Travino takes a job in rural Vermont and hires contractor Maddie Barrow to rehab a house she buys sight unseen, they both wind up with a lot more than they bargained for.

Book Synopsis

Burned-out chef Sy Travino never expected to wind up on a goat farm in rural Vermont, but that's exactly where she lands after leaving the restaurant world to become a cheesemaker. It's a great place to flex her muscles and make a name for herself, though. Too bad the house she bought is practically unlivable.

Maddie Barrow can't believe anyone would be dumb enough to buy a house sight unseen, but she's not about to turn down the job of renovating it, especially since her best friend just hired Sy to turn Grumpy Old Goat into the chèvre everyone is talking about. When the estimate on the house exceeds Sy's budget, Maddie puts her to work.

It doesn't take long for Sy and Maddie to admit their chemistry is off the charts, but having fun doesn't always lead to forever. Could it be a foundation for love or nothing but a teardown?
