Flipped
About this book
Real estate agent and historical property rehabber Jocelyn Reid loves history, architecture, and her beloved hometown of St. Augustine, FL. Her ancestors have resided in the city for over three hundred years, and it's been her dream to procure the home that her great-grandfather once lived in on Matanzas Bay in the heart of downtown St. Augustine. However, someone else has their eye on the historical property; someone Jocelyn simply can't stand.
Property rehabber and real estate agent Simon St. Clair is beloved on air and in his adopted hometown of St. Augustine for turning tired homes into heartwarming and affordable residences for families. However, it's always been his big dream to go from flipping properties to rehabbing historical homes, and he has his eye on the rambling, ramshackle Reid Mansion on Matanzas Bay. The only thing standing in his way? Jocelyn Reid.
When Simon wins the historical property in a real estate auction, Jocelyn finally can't hold back her contempt for the admittedly handsome real estate agent any longer. She isn't just upset that she has lost her ancestral home to some house flipper, but for another reason all together.... the walls of the home are said to be filled with century old rum and spirits from her great grandfathers days as a bootlegger.
Desperate to try and strike a deal, Jocelyn reveals the secret of Reid Mansion to Simon and gives him an offer that he can't refuse. When Simon realizes that he's in over his head refurbishing the Reid Mansion all by himself, he Jocelyn as his forewoman, despite his burgeoning feelings for the feisty flipper. Can the two of them find the hidden rum and restore the old fixer-upper without the rafters falling in... or without falling in love?
