The prodigal daughter returns to the mountains...

Natalie Roche has made it. She has her life, her independence, and her rock-and-roll dream job: a talent manager in L.A., at the world’s largest music management firm. But when her grandmother dies and leaves her the family house in Appalachian Maryland, she has no choice but to trek her way back east and confront the past she’s worked so hard to escape. And family drama isn’t the only thing she finds in the mountains.

Bonnie Baker is used to difficult clients: after all, working as a public attorney for ten years offers no shortage of headaches. No one could blame her for indulging in a one-night stand to relieve the stress… until the blue-eyed bombshell from the bar shows up in her office.

Now they're both fighting the rules and fighting their attraction, and Natalie has more than just her inheritance at stake. Between the demands of her overbearing boss, her family's secrets, and the weight of her past, will she capsize under the pressure? Or will her new-found friendships teach her what makes a house a home?

Betting on the House is an LGBT homecoming story with themes of found family, small town life, and a sprinkling of spice. It is the first book of the stand-alone Fixer Upper Romance series.

Reviews for Betting on the House

[Jamie Weiß · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

So much fun to listen to and sometimes even touching!

[Christy B · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I feel like they should change the book cover to Natalie and Shawn since you barely even hear about Bonnie. I was so confused throughout the book wondering if Natalie was going to end up with Shawn with all the time they spent together and the emotional connection they shared. It's a good story just not what I thought it would be. Natalie and Bonnie never had their moment together besides the physical aspect. It just seems so superficial and disappointing. I know there's a second book but if it's about Shawn again I'm out (pun intended).
