Building Love

A Later-in-Life Empty Nest Grumpy-Sunshine Clean Romance with a Matchmaker and a Guaranteed Happy Ending

A divorced empty nester. A millionaire who built his fortune and his walls in equal measure. A meddling matchmaker who paired them without permission.

At fifty-two, Morgan Larson is done feeling invisible. After her divorce and her daughter's move across the country, she's rattling around an empty house in Wisconsin. When did she become someone who apologizes for taking up space?

So when a matchmaking service pairs her with an Alaskan bachelor she's never met, she does something reckless: she says yes.

Griffin Hayes didn't ask to be matched. At fifty-eight, Silver Sound's construction magnate built an empire and walls in equal measure. He doesn't need a partner. He needs Eleanor, the town's meddling matchmaker, to mind her own business.

But Eleanor's three-month trial period isn't optional. And Morgan, with her easy warmth and refusal to be intimidated, is nothing like the complication Griffin expected.

She's worse. She makes him want things he stopped believing in.

As winter closes in on Silver Sound, Morgan must decide if she's finally found a place where she belongs. Or if she's about to make herself small for another man who can't meet her halfway.
