Avery Blake is a contractor who prefers houses to people. Living alone in the Indiana countryside, she keeps her emotions under lock and key—and her neighbors at arm’s length. After watching her elderly friend Nora lose the love of her life to controlling family members, Avery has learned her lesson: love is just another thing that falls apart.

Hannah Grayson isn’t looking for love either. She’s just looking for a safe place to land after escaping a toxic relationship in New York. When her great-aunt Nora leaves her a rundown farmhouse, Hannah flees to rural Indiana with nothing but a suitcase and a bruised heart. The house is a disaster. Nora’s grandkids want her gone. And the intimidating woman across the street—Avery—seems determined to hate her.

But when a pipe bursts on Hannah’s first night, she’s forced to knock on Avery’s door and ask for help. What begins as a reluctant act of neighborly duty slowly turns into late-night repairs, coffee-fueled banter, and a connection neither of them saw coming.

Fixer Upper is a slow-burn sapphic romance about starting over, letting someone in, and discovering that sometimes the best things in life are built—not found.
