Building a Little Love

A Hatteras Island Novel

De: Jan Dawson

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Lindsay is about to build her dream house on the property left to her by her late grandmother. This new house means everything to her, not only because she can finally afford it, but also because she plans to do a lot of the work herself.
Growing up she often worked with her dad, a contractor on the Inner Banks of North Carolina. She parlayed her steady hands and sharp mind into a career as an orthopedic surgeon, but she never lost her interest in actually building - with wood, nails, hammers and screws. She wants to enjoy this new vacation home with her fiancé, Wall. He isn’t into beach living yet, but Lindsay is sure she can change his mind once the house is completed and she can show him what Hatteras is all about.
But soon Lindsay learns that coming in from the “outside” isn’t as easy as she’d assumed. She senses there are a lot of prejudices and assumptions about new people on the island and she struggles to understand the sensitivities of island living. It doesn’t help matters that her only new neighbor, the surfer/budding chef Emmett Long, isn’t exactly thrilled to see a new home going up on his previously empty cul-de-sac.
Then, Lindsay has to deal with a medical tragedy, and Wall isn’t there for her. Is she imagining things or are they at a crossroads? And when she reaches out and gives Emmett a chance at a new opportunity after he gets injured in a beach accident, is he starting to see her as more than just an unwelcome neighbor?
“Building a Little Love” is a stand-alone sweet romance novel. If you like stories about making tough choices, believing in your feelings, and being open to new people and ideas, you’ll enjoy this tale of “building” love for two very different people, and for an island in transition.
