Maggie Moves On

This fun, frothy romance from Score (Things We Never Got Over) follows YouTube star Maggie Nichols, who flips houses for her channel without ever thinking about setting down roots of her own. Maggie’s undaunted by the challenge posed by her latest project—flipping an immense mansion in the middle of nowhere (aka Kinship, Idaho)—but she definitely doesn’t have time for “Hot Landscaper Guy” Silas Wright’s flirtation (even if his dog charms her). Her to-do list is long and her desire to date is short. Hopeless romantic Silas isn’t deterred; the moment he laid eyes on Maggie he was convinced she was “the one.” Gleefully pushed together by their families (both biological and found), Maggie and Silas find time to romp around Kinship while finishing the house and solving a century-old local mystery. Through the endearing protagonists and their team of contractors, Score demonstrates a talent for writing strong characters who are smart, funny, and wildly appealing. The zippy dialogue and abundant humor will have readers hooked. Agent: Mark Gottlieb, Trident Media. (June)
