Mariana Vasquez has always adored the historic waterfront Brampton Mansion, but the beloved building has succumbed to years of neglect. When Baltimore City inherits it, there's only one chance to keep it from being demolished. Mariana plans to earn the mansion a second chance and the money to pay for its upkeep with a designer Christmas showcase.
A mix-up on Scott Ashfordâs last renovation job has shaken his confidence and harmed his business. He needs a fresh project and great publicity to caulk over his disgrace. Donating his expertise to save a historic property sounds perfectâĻexcept the opportunity is dangled by an old friend. Well, ex-friend, since he abandoned her ten years agoâĻ
Mariana has too much pride to ask Scott to return to Baltimore for her, but sheâs desperate enough to ask him to come back to save the mansion. Thereâs barely time to finish all the restorations, so Marianaâs sure she wonât have any time to fall for Scott again. But maybe the mansion isnât the only thing that deserves a second chance this ChristmasâĻ
