Marry Me, Jackson by Barbara Lohr

Best friends. That’s all they were…until one of them wanted forever.
Almost thirty and single, Emily Sommers trades the big city for Sweetwater Creek, family and friends. An online nutritionist, she loves her historic apartment, but not the repair bills. Best friend Jackson Hart steps in her handyman.
For years Jackson watched Emily bake cookies and send cute cards to the wrong man. Now he has a plan to become that guy. Emily’s had it with billionaires, so Jackson plays down his own success to win her heart.
Falling hard for her handyman, Emily has competition. With Jackson’s help, the daughter of an influential family is opening Victoria’s Pantry right under Emily’s apartment. Seeing them together sends Emily to Lowcountry Singles to find her own happily ever after. With his friend’s best interest at heart, Jackson becomes her advisor.
Frustration and fun build while Emily and Jackson discover that the only way to happiness is by being truthful with the one you trust most–your best friend.
