Books like The Fix-it Man by Vicki Lewis Thompson
When Diana Thatcher, a widowed mother of two, advertises for a live‑in handyman, she imagines a studious scholar in tweeds and horn‑rim glasses. Instead, she meets Zach Wainwright—a suntanned, carefree man in cutoffs who grins easily and admits he can’t tell a nut from a bolt. In the blistering heat of July in Springfield, Zach moves in above Diana’s house and quickly decides he wants to stay downstairs permanently. Although he lacks technical skill, his undeniable talent for love proves that some repairs are best left to the heart. The story plays out amid the sweltering summer, an unexpected partnership, and the growing realization that sometimes the right fit comes in an unexpected package.
