Give and Take — Lee Kilraine

Six Brothers Construction was built to reunite a family and heal a painful past. So far it's opened to rave reviews. But the youngest sibling is about to discover that the right woman can shake even a rock-solid foundation . . .

Wyatt Thorne was so traumatized by his mother's abandonment he didn't speak until he was six. At 26, he's still the quiet type -- strong and silent, most comfortable with a hammer in his hand and work to do. But the reassuring rhythm of his life is interrupted when his brother Beckett decides to pay forward their unused office space to a needy start-up. Enter Rhia Hollis, flighty, impulsive, and outspoken -- everything that drives Wyatt crazy. Only this time in the sexiest, most irresistible way . . .

Rhia is determined to disprove her reckless, party girl image by making her new company, Seize the Day, the premier event planning firm in Raleigh. She has big dreams, and the Thornes' offer of a free command center is a huge help. But Wyatt's gruff, stubborn resistance to her presence is an annoying hindrance. They're as different as night and day, yet when they begin to meet in the middle, the sparks fly hot. Is this a case of opposites distract -- or the beginning of a beautiful long-term project?
