Major Renovations
Ritter University Book One
Andrzej Kaminski—Ski to his friends—has always wanted to be a doctor. At least that’s what his father tells him. Ski’s not so sure. With medical school no longer a foregone conclusion, Ski suddenly has no purpose, no direction. He has no idea what he wants to do—football and wrestling don’t count.
Samantha Thunder’s life is overflowing with two-by-fours and sacks of mortar. She doesn’t have time for romance, especially pretty frat-boys with dreamy pecs. She needs to run the family construction business, whether she likes it or not—which means staying far, far away from big, muscled distractions.
Unfortunately, she can’t stay far, far away, no matter how hard she tries. This summer, Samantha is managing the renovation of the Phi Rho fraternity house on the Ritter University campus, and Ski is babysitting the house while he pretends to take some summer classes.
The pressure is on for both of them to make some major decisions—about their future, and about each other. Walking away may be the best answer.
If only they could…

Ryan Kent is the poster child for responsibility. He’s always done what’s expected of him. He didn’t have much choice. But now that his mother’s cancer is under control, he finally feels free. Almost. If he could only convince his dad to trust him to make his own choices, life would be good. If he could get Karina to take a chance on him, life would be perfect.
Ryan doesn’t know what Karina did before they met. Karina doesn’t know how to protect Ryan. When taking chances collide with trust, can what happens in college endure, or will it stay in college?

Asking her parents for help is out of the question, and she and her son Connor have to find someplace to live before they end up on the street.
Luckily, Brice’s grandmother needs help running Camp Falling Pines—which includes the use of a cabin for the summer. It’s the perfect escape plan, if only it didn’t land Brice face-to-face with the first man who ever shredded her heart. They had their chance at a relationship long ago. It didn’t work then, and it won’t work now. Or at least that’s what Brice keeps telling herself.

With every nail he hammers and every board he cuts, he misses his old life less and less—despite his mother’s daily doses of guilt. He has no regrets…except for Brice.
Every man dreams of the one that got away, and now she’s standing in front of him, looking better than ever. Jason can’t walk away, even though he knows he should run before Brice does—and she will run, once his past catches up to both of them.
