When Toby Archer’s marriage fell apart, he took up flipping houses to fill some of the void left in his life. The first time that contractor Ven Parrish worked for him, Toby noticed the fact that Ven was gorgeous, but what really caught Toby’s attention was Ven’s work ethic. Toby isn’t going to pass up the chance to hire Ven again; it’s just good business sense.
The more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny their attraction to each other. Toby is a lawyer with an upper class lifestyle, and Ven is a working man from a family still scraping by. What they have in common, especially a commitment to family, does more to keep them apart than bring them together. Still, Toby and Ven have sense enough to know when something is worth the work, and neither is afraid to get hot and dirty to get the job done, especially when the finished product might be a happy ending for everyone.
Renovations 1: Flipping Out is about Toby, a lawyer who spends his free time “flipping” houses, which means buying a fixer-upper and selling it once it’s cleaned up. He met contractor Ven on his last flip, and decided he liked the guy a lot. He likes Ven’s work ethic, his style, and maybe a lot more.
