Autumn Foundations
When love needs rebuilding from the ground up...
After twenty-three years of marriage, airline pilot Avery Brooks thought she had her life mapped out-until her husband's affair changed everything. Six months post-divorce, she's tired of playing it safe and ready for an adventure that's entirely her own.
A weekend home renovation workshop at a cozy Vermont retreat seems like the perfect way to learn practical skills for her dream project: buying a one-euro house in Sicily and restoring it herself. What she doesn't expect is Nico Antonelli-the patient, skilled instructor whose teaching style makes even power tools feel manageable, and whose warm brown eyes make her think about building something more than just shelves.
Nico knows all about ambitious renovation projects that change your life. His own marriage ended when his ex-wife couldn't handle his passion for impossible restorations. But watching Avery transform from nervous beginner to confident craftswoman awakens something he thought he'd lost-the belief that the right partner makes any project possible.
As autumn deepens around Eleanor's magical Wren House, Avery discovers she's not just learning to use tools-she's learning to trust her own judgment, stand up to her controlling ex-husband, and open her heart to a man who sees her strength instead of trying to manage her choices.
When Nico reveals his own Italian connections and offers to partner with her on the Sicilian renovation, Avery faces the biggest decision of her new life. Can she risk everything on a man she's known for months and a medieval stone house that might be beyond saving?
From pumpkin spice mornings in small-town Vermont to Mediterranean sunsets over olive groves, this is a story about second chances, the courage to attempt impossible things, and discovering that the best foundations are built on trust, patience, and the willingness to learn something new.
Perfect for readers who love cozy romance, women's fiction with heart, and stories about midlife transformation that prove it's never too late to become the person you were meant to be.
Series Note: Third book in the Seasons at Wren House series.
