All work and no play...
Charlie Keene has poured everything she's got into running her father's company, and now her brother wants to sell. Worse, handsome tycoon Jack Maguire's arrived in town...and he wants to buy. Charlie's worked too hard to let the family firm go. One delicious dance and an even more surprising dinner later, all bets are off, as Charlie draws Jack into her Carnelian Cove world.
But what does he really want - her or her company? And can Charlie ever trust a man in love if she can't trust him in life?
He's wrong for her in every way, right?
All architect Tess has ever wanted is to open her own design firm. So she's thrilled when she wins a coveted waterfront project. She's less thrilled to be working with rebellious contractor John Jameson Quinn! Tess doesn't go for brooding bad boys - especially one who isn't shy about going after what he wants. And he wants Tess. Never mind that he's got a scandalous past to overcome and a daughter to raise.
Quinn follows his own drumbeat. Only now Tess is starting to hear it too... Can they build a love to last?
