When Marley inherits a rundown tourist shop, she never expects to rediscover her love for the coastal Oregon town – or her now-widowed teenage crush. With his help, she may just be able to renovate the shabby shop – and her lacklustre love life.
When empty nester Mallory Farrell inherits her grandmother's run-down tourist shop in Seaport, Oregon, it seems the only sensible thing to do is to sell it. But when her former secret crush, Grayson Matthews, wants to buy the property in order to complete his plans to redevelop the funky town's business district into a soulless, cookie-cutter outdoor mall, Mallory digs in her heels and decides to renovate the property herself.
With a lot of hard work and a little bit of help, Mallory makes incredible progress turning the store into an eclectic home décor shop called Romancing the Home--all while trying to ignore the depressing and decrepit apartment she's living in on the second floor. When the shop catches the eye of a popular renovation TV show producer, Mallory is thrilled--until it becomes clear that her apartment is to be part of the segment as well.
She's tempted to abandon her dreams and the town under a cloud of shame. But perhaps there's more to Grayson than meets the eye. Can he swallow his pride, change his plans, and help Mallory romance her own home--and possibly her life?

The main character has grown children, grey hair and a whole new life waiting for her. Change fell in her lap and old dreams ignited. The love interest is thoughtful and compassionate once he knows of her plight. Good thing he is well connected and knows how to get things done. I enjoyed this contemporary romance novel about middle-aged people, interior design and """"romancing the home"""". Nice faith details throughout as well.
