About this ebook

She’s detached from her emotions. He’s sworn off love. When their attraction is instant, can they bury the past and unearth happily ever after?

Sarah Carter avoids attachments at all costs. Leaving behind her small-town Alaskan home after the presumed-fatal disappearance of her boyfriend, she keeps people at a distance in fear of reliving the pain. So when her mom needs assistance running the lodge after an injury, she’s less than thrilled to return to the Land of the Midnight Sun—even if the hired help catches her eye.

Will Brooks is in shock. Thinking himself contentedly married right up until his wife handed him divorce papers, the successful construction contractor heads north to get his head straight and hires on with a gorgeous brunette. And though the last thing the wounded man wants is a relationship, one look at the curvy little cutie has his heart making other plans.

Despite her reservations, Sarah falls hard for the blue-eyed hunk until an unwelcome revelation shatters her trust. While Will has his fresh start turned upside down, and he fears his lovely boss’s pulling back reinforces he’s truly meant to be alone. 

Can two hurting souls face their troubles together and find a second chance for happiness?

A Darling Handyman is the feel-good first book in the Darling Men series of Alaskan small-town romances. If you like kind and generous heroes, tiny-village backdrops, and more humor than steam, then you’ll adore Lark Holiday’s journey to the Last Frontier.

Ratings and reviews

A Darling Handyman by Lark Holiday Book Review. I had shivers just from reading the Prologue. The characters in this Book are so well written that I felt what they felt. You love and hate characters for their decisions. These characters bring so much emotion from their pasts but ultimately come together and it's Beautiful to see. That is what kept the pages turning for me. Proof that everyone deserves a second chance at Love and Happiness. The sub storylines in this book provided unexpected twists. Sara and Will meet in a blaze offering a unique yet captivating scene. The irony of knowing Sara's secret and Will being clueless but also the unknown of what actually happened kept me reading. These characters save each other continuously. A Lie that brought a family back together for good and bad. Memories of the past that haunt the characters but also a chance to move on and start over in the best way and with the best people beside them.
