Sweetwater Island Ferry

Virginia's entire life needed a renovation, but it took inheriting her aunt's island cottage to realize it. Crafting gourmet donuts, hanging out with her sister, and maintaining her slightly off-kilter relationship have become the epicenter of Virginia's life. But when she looks in the mirror, she knows better than anyone that her self-esteem is shot. So, when she inherits her beloved Aunt's house in the quaint neighboring island town of Sweetwater, she's elated. That is, until her longtime boyfriend Jason convinces her to sell it so that they can pocket the money. The catch is, there are substantial fixes that need to be made before that can happen. On a recommendation, she hires Tristan, a cute, funny, church-going contractor with a good heart and a dark secret.

Virginia In my perfect world I would be selling gourmet donuts, creating art that people loved, be married to my high school sweetheart, live in an adorable dream house... I had big plans for my life once, but nothing was turning out like I thought it would. One day I looked in the mirror and the strong, creative girl of my childhood wasn't smiling back at me anymore. My aunt must've known something that I didn't, because when she left me her cottage on Sweetwater Island, a tiny spark lit inside me. Could this be a second chance at the life I always dreamed of? But the old Victorian house has been sitting vacant for so long, the idea of living there is a pipe dream. Before I sell it, I would at least love to see the summer cottage of my childhood restored to its former glory. Tristan From the moment she peeked her head around the corner of that weather-worn Victorian cottage, I knew there was something special about her. Then I realized that she was going to be one of those clients that thought being involved in the restoration project was helpful, when really, she was just going to get in the way. But why did she have to end up being so cute, and so... likable? No, I made peace with my romantic solitude a long time ago and know that love isn't in the cards for me. People with dark secrets like mine don't deserve a chance at that kind of happiness. Plus, she has a boyfriend. Yet every time she comes around I can't help but wonder... What if I could still be salvageable like this old seaside cottage?
