Owen Montgomery and Avery MacTavish have been best friends forever. The organizer of the Montgomery clan, Owen runs the family’s construction business with an iron will and an inflexible spreadsheet. His brothers might tease Owen about his compulsive list-making, but everyone knows he played a key role in seeing Inn BoonsBoro opened right on schedule.

From her popular pizzeria right across the street from the inn, Avery MacTavish boasted a front row seat to its amazing renovation—and she found a new appreciation for Owen. She considers Owen her first boyfriend, due to a childhood crush, and a bubblegum ring. But she can't claim the attraction she feels for him now as child-like or innocent.

As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of Boonsboro a reason to celebrate. But Owen’s hard work has only begun. Getting her to let down her guard may take longer than he expected—as will convincing Avery her first boyfriend is going to be her last.

Quotes edit see section history

  • “He’d shaved, Owen noted, and looked bright-eyed. Maybe a little wild-eyed, as he imagined most men did with three kids under the age of ten and the school morning chaos that created. He remembered his own school mornings well enough, and wondered how his parents had resisted doing major drugs.”
    Owen observing Beckett
  • “He had his hands on her? Okay. He's big but he's old. I can take him.”
    Ryder
  • “You're gonna be our uncle." "That's what I hear." "So you have to buy us Christmas presents." "I guess I do." "I got a list.”
    Liam to Owen
  • “That dog'll roll in the snow, run in the snow, eat the damn snow, but he won't walk through it to shit. I don't clear the path, he shits right by the door.  Why is that?”
    Ryder about his dog, Dumbass
