How Many Licks‪?‬

"My body is his, and he's playing it like a finely tuned instrument."

Sophie Matthews refuses to compromise her design principles, even if it means turning down lucrative contracts. But when financial desperation forces her to take a position as housekeeper for Cedar Trails' coldest CEO, Lucas Sterling, she discovers there's more to the ruthless businessman than his icy reputation suggests.

As their heated encounters blur professional boundaries, Sophie finds herself caught between her growing feelings for Lucas and her mission to save the community center he plans to demolish. With her heart and values on the line, she must decide if she can transform the man known for destroying buildings into someone capable of building a future with her.

Can Sophie melt the ice around Lucas's heart before Christmas, or will his empire of steel and glass shatter the only chance they have at love? Sometimes the greatest renovations aren't in buildings, but in the heart.
