Strictly Business — Emma Lea

A playboy architect and an interior designer with control issues. Architect, Sean Donovan is a confirmed bachelor, happy to play the field and avoid the corporate merger of marriage (as modelled by his parents). All he wants is to build his business, date pretty (though vapid) women and spend his down time renovating his house and playing with his dog, Connor. That is until he meets Coley. Coley McKenzie is a newly minted Interior Designer who lands a job on Sean's latest project, and she is determined to put her past behind her and build her reputation as a professional designer. But after a disastrous first day in which she ends up wrestling in the mud with both a hairy dog and a Thor look-a-like (ruining her brand new Christian Louboutins in the process), things become increasingly more complicated. Can Sean and Coley navigate interfering brothers, evil stepmothers and sexual tension (thick enough to carve with a knife) to finish the project with enough panache to establish them both as designers of merit and without either of them being scarred for life?
