Olive Kentworth has spent her life hiding her interest in architecture, even though she pores over architectural books and sketches buildings. When she accepts a job on a home expansion, it's only because her cousin Amos agrees to pose as the builder. To further hide her involvement, Olive takes a position as a nanny--not knowing that she'll be working for her idol, Joplin's leading architect, widower Maxfield Scott.
Maxfield is intrigued by his new nanny--she makes his home and his life bearable again. His work, on the other hand, is a disaster. An untrained builder is remodeling a completed project of his. What's worse, Maxfield's current client wants changes to his plans because of that builder's work.
As the architectural one-upmanship heats up, Olive's involvement becomes harder to hide. Will the relationship between her and Maxfield survive, or will they both miss out on building something for their future?

My Review
I've enjoyed the past two reads in this series, and this was no exception. It can be read alone, there are recurring characters, but you will be hooked with this author's delightful writing style!
This is a read about a young woman with a big heart, and a beautiful gift, a bit of a recluse, but she had to be to take care of her ill mother. How did she spend her bedside time? Well she read, and not what most people would choose, but they spoke to her, and her God given gift!
Then we have a man who has had his life shattered when he lost his young wife. He has two young children, and has just now, almost reluctantly, started to date.
Life throws these two together, and sparks fly, but also revelations that have the power to split everything wide open! Then throw in some mega rich fellows that need their egos scratched by having the largest home in Joplin, MO!
Page turner for sure, and I hate that the series has ended, but looking for more by Regina Jennings!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
