Books like Flirting with Disaster by Sherryl Woods
Maggie Forsythe is a bold, unapologetic Southern belle who has just been dumped two weeks before her impending wedding. Behind her sunny facade, Maggie hides from the expectations of her South Carolina Low Country community. Three friends press her to choose a path: stay and mourn, return to her home and paint a gallery, or participate in a house‑building project for a family in need. In the midst of this decision, Maggie meets Josh Parker, a project foreman who knows the value of hard work and living within one’s means. His practical, grounded approach to life—and his skills with a circular saw—contrast sharply with Maggie’s sugar‑swirling lifestyle. Yet, the chemistry between them is undeniable, and as Maggie navigates her newfound love and the challenges of construction, she learns that true connection can emerge from the most unlikely places.
