She knows how to restore houses.
He’s the only one who’s ever made her want to restore her heart.

Vivian Mills knows how to restore anything except the life she lost.

Once the face of a hit design show, Vivian built her career transforming broken spaces into something beautiful. But behind the success was a life quietly unraveling: a marriage that ended in betrayal, a future that slipped out of reach, and a loss she’s never been able to put into words.

Now, a high-profile renovation in the Hamptons is her chance to start over. Keep things simple. Keep things controlled. And above all… don’t get attached.

Until Ethan Cross.

They met once before, in a place meant for people learning how to live with what they couldn’t fix. Back then, keeping her distance was easy. Now, working side by side on a house that feels a little too much like her own heart, it’s anything but.

Ethan is steady in all the ways she isn’t. Patient. Unshaken. The kind of man who sees straight through her defenses and stays anyway. He doesn’t rush her. Doesn’t try to fix what’s broken. But somehow, he makes her want things she swore she’d buried for good.

As the summer unfolds and the house begins to come back to life, so does something inside Vivian she’s spent years trying to silence. But opening her heart again means facing the truth about everything she’s lost. And risking a kind of love she’s not sure she can survive twice.

Because the hardest thing she’ll ever have to rebuild…
is the part of herself that still dares to want him.

Restoration Summer is a deeply emotional story about grief, second chances, and the powerful way love asks us to be brave again.
