No One Does It Like You BY Katie Shepard

In Sweeten the Deal by Katie Shepard, college sweethearts Tom Wilczewski and Rose Kelly get a second chance to rekindle their romance amidst a storm of complications. When a Category 3 hurricane hits, Broadway actor Tom risks his life to save his co-lead and makes a desperate call to his ex-wife, Rosie, confessing his enduring love and hoping for a fresh start.

Two months later, Rosie, swamped with caring for her elderly aunt and managing the storm-damaged family B&B on Martha’s Vineyard, is confronted with Tom’s heroic exploits plastered all over the media. Despite her efforts to move on, she is unable to ignore his voicemail, leading her to request Tom’s help with the B&B repairs as a test of his commitment.

Tom seizes the opportunity, believing that fixing the inn will also mend their fractured relationship. However, upon arrival, Tom and his Broadway cast are faced with a much larger challenge than anticipated. The inn’s condition is worse than Rosie expected, the lack of beds is problematic, and her family’s minimal support forces Tom and his friends to step in. As they work side by side, Rosie starts to question whether the life she thought she wanted is truly what makes her happy.

Sweeten the Deal combines heartfelt emotions with humorous mishaps, exploring the possibility of love’s revival through shared struggles and the restoration of both an old inn and a long-lost relationship.
