Publisher Description
A sexy new standalone novel from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.
The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office.
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.
He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.
Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant.
Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.
Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.
Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent.
I was swindled out of ten grand.
The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place.
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.
I never expected my body to react every time we argued. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do.
The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages.
The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.
And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This contemporary standalone is romantic, sexy, and just a little sentimental. When playboy divorce attorney Drew Jagger returns from vacation on New Year's Eve, he decides to make a quick check on renovations to his Park Avenue office before heading up to his penthouse apartment. Construction progress looks good, but someone left a light on in the file room. Opening the door, he's surprised to see a comely redhead leap onto a chair and threaten him with some serious krav maga moves. When her skirt falls down around her ankles she starts to look a lot less threatening. It turns out that some con man rented Jagger's office to the redhead, Emerie Rose, an Oklahoma transplant and marriage counselor. Taking pity on her, the confirmed playboy lets Emerie use some of his office space until she can either retrieve or replace her lost deposit. In the meantime, he fights a losing battle against committing to her. Fans of humorous contemporaries will find this a delightful diversion. (BookLife)

Where to start. God I love this author. Every book is different yet they share a common fierceness of writing. Drew and Emerie are just as fierce as our author's commitment to us...every single book I read leads me onto the next. She had me at the first chapter when both characters reached out - grabbed me, shook me a little and then slammed me back into their story. It is different, refreshing & it is a great, sexy read with a very nice twist on the alpha male we all love so much. I read this entire book in one night! You know the story you never want to end, the one that has you turning faster to get to the next twisty "climax"... The whole story is engineered to fall in love with and I was laughing out loud!! It is not luck that an author can so effortlessly infuse humour while writing about sex, love, loss and tie it all into a pant melting dream. It is a gift. Vi has never missed that mark for me. I wish Drew & Emerie had a part 2. I wish you could write faster!!!! Ah, well I want to truly thank you for taking me on that journey. Read the book. There is a "little maniac" in all of us!!
