Paige MacKenzie liked her independence to the point of being stubborn. Paige never wanted to ask anyone for help and as a result she was stretching herself too thin as a woman, mother, and business woman. She was trying to get her business up and going, but to do that she had to spend less time with her four-year-old son. Paige did not think that things could get much worse, but she was wrong. Paige could not believe her new neighbor was looking back at her through a huge hole in her living room wall.Marc d' Angelo planned to spend his summer fixing up his new house. He never wanted his new neighbor to suffer because of it. As if the hole were not bad enough, he accidentally cut off her water too. Not to mention the problems she was having that were not his fault. Her skylight was leaking, her walls were crumbling, and her kitchen cabinets were falling. Lucky for Paige Marc's family is in the construction business. Marc started to take care of not just her house, but her and her son as well. The more he tried to help the more she pushed him away.Marc is a man that feels it is his duty to shelter and protect others. Marc does not see that too much helping can eventually be considered interfering. Paige was raised by a father who was always trying to `help' her, so she rebelled by becoming fiercely independent, but too much independence is not always a good thing.If Paige and Marc could both find a middle ground, they could probably have a future together, which would probably be wonderful for everyone including Paige's son. This is a good story with two very strong independent characters. I enjoyed the fact that both characters were so strong and that if they were to have a future it would be out of want and not need.
