Eleanor Vance, a meticulous restoration architect, lives by the blueprint. Her firm, renowned for its pragmatic approach, is her father's legacy, and she guards it fiercely. But when the prestigious Beaumont Grant for Blackwood Manor, a decaying Georgian masterpiece, demands a joint proposal, Eleanor finds herself facing her most infuriating rival: Liam Hayes.

Now, confined to the manor's dilapidated grounds for two weeks, their clashes ignite sparks-of both frustration and an undeniable, unsettling attraction.
As they navigate crumbling facades, hidden passages, and unexpected structural nightmares, Eleanor's rigid logic begins to soften under Liam's romantic idealism. Amidst the dust and decay, they discover a surprising synergy, revealing not just the manor's forgotten beauty, but also the vulnerabilities they've long hidden from the world.
But when a past ghost reappears and a major structural crisis threatens to derail everything, their fragile new connection is tested. Can their combined brilliance save Blackwood Manor? Or will the pressure shatter their dreams, proving that some things, like hearts, are beyond restoration?
"The Unlikely Restoration" is a captivating journey of rivals-to-lovers, where two strong-willed architects learn that true beauty lies not in perfection, but in rebuilding, together.
