Hattie Kavanaugh started working for Kavanaugh & Son Restorations at eighteen, married the boss's son at twenty, and became a widow at twenty-five when Hank died in a motorcycle crash. She channeled her grief into their shared dream, using his life insurance to buy and renovate a house in a changing neighborhood. The flip succeeded, but her next project turned into a financial disaster that shook her confidence for years. Now Hattie faces an unexpected opportunity that could change everything. She's been cast in The Homewreckers, a reality show about beach house renovation. Her co-star might become her love interest or her biggest rival. As cameras roll and hammers swing, Hattie must navigate the complicated dynamics of reality television while trying to rebuild both houses and her heart. The show will test whether she can reclaim her confidence in construction and romance, or if both dreams will crumble under pressure.
