A bookish heroine intent on working in peace and quiet on her dictionary is so irritated by the very sweaty and muscle-y carpenter banging away on her getaway's walls. With plans to outlast her match-making mother, she instead finds herself falling in love with the handsome man instead, even if he is unsuitable.

Read for Seasonally Booked Up, this was low-angst and lovely.

Notes - the heroine has a "palsy" which causes one side of her facial muscles to droop, a condition she's had since childhood. The heroine's mother definitely sees this as a fault and encourages her to hide that side of her face with her hair and big hats and loud outfits.
