A Handy Duo - Sarah Madeline

Two acquaintances. A charming small town. And one business partnership.

A spec-tacular Rom-Com full of laugh-out-loud and heart-melting moments.

Marigold Evans has worked alongside her dad at Fix-Its hardware for as long as she can remember. Their family business has been in a constant state of disarray ever since her mom passed seven years prior. Items are everywhere. The paint is peeling. And the inventory is almost impossible to keep track of. When she throws a surprise sixty-fifth birthday party for her dad the topic of his retirement is brought up. He believes the idea is impossible, until Marigold convinces him to let her have one month of running the store on her own.

Marigold soon learns that doing everything by herself isn't easy. Especially when she plans to organize and freshen up the store. She finds herself seeking help from multiple town members. One in particular being Dan.

Daniel "Dan" Stone is a mechanic at his auto shop, Dan's Auto, settled in the quirky small-town of Thornwood Valley. He loves working and doesn't make time for much else. He spends almost every day at Fix-Its ordering and picking up parts. However, he never got to know Marigold more than an acquaintance.

When Marigold proposes a business partnership, Dan agrees. They find themselves working together more often than before.

Will sparks fly in and out of the auto shop?

Or will they continue to be business partners?
