Fixing the Ex

Fixing the Ex: A Small Town, Second Chance Romance

Maya Hayes didn’t return to Cedar Ridge for Luke Carter—she came back to save her family’s failing hardware store and quietly rebuild the life she once ran from. But fate has other plans. The moment she sees Luke again, the grumpy carpenter with sawdust in his hair and regret in his eyes, the past she tried so hard to leave behind crashes right back into her world.

Luke never got over Maya. Not after she left, not after years of silence. He’s built a life around second chances—for his brother, his business, and the hometown he never escaped. But when Maya shows up, pregnant with his child after one impulsive, unforgettable night, everything changes. Again.

As they navigate unfinished feelings, baby prep disasters, nosy family, and the slow renovation of a forgotten home, Maya and Luke discover that love isn’t just about passion—it’s about showing up, doing the hard work, and building something that lasts. Together.

Fixing the Ex is a full-length, steamy, small town second chance romance featuring a stubborn heroine, a broody blue-collar hero, and a surprise baby who nails them both to the floor. Perfect for readers who crave emotional depth, sizzling chemistry, and happy endings that feel earned. Welcome to Cedar Ridge, where first loves get messy, but real love is always worth fixing.
