Description
Paige Parker has no time for romance. She’s too busy building up her house-flipping business. But when a charming guy comes between her and the house she wants, Paige is a little more torn than she expected. For a girl who’s always gone with her firm business sense, she’s not sure how to trust her heart.
When it comes to dating, Shaun Randall is not about to get serious with anyone. He has his mother to take care of and enough family secrets to keep him running from any girl who gets too close. Spending time with Paige starts out as a means to get the house he wants, but every time he thinks it’s time to bail, he finds himself drawn in a little more.
When is it worth taking a chance on love?
Excerpt
A shuffling noise signaled his entrance, and he came up behind her, his breath tickling the back of her neck. She put a hand up to her ponytail and rubbed it against her neck, suddenly feeling nervous. “Quit reading my notes, Shane.”
“It’s Shaun.”
Crap. She turned around, hugging her notes to her chest. “Sorry.”
He shrugged. “Doesn’t bother me. I’m not the one kissing people and not remembering their name two days later.”
Her mouth dropped open and she quickly shut it, hating how well she’d fallen right into that. “I apologize for kissing you. I hope we can still be professional.”
He took a step toward her and she swallowed, willing her face to appear calm. His eyes were the most beautiful shade of blue.
“I thoroughly enjoyed your kisses. I just wish they were magical enough to make you less determined to buy this place. So, you’re a realtor? Are you here for a client?” He snuck a peek at her notebook, and she pulled it out of his reach.
“Yes, technically I’m a realtor. But mostly I’m a house flipper, and this place is a gold mine.” She ducked around him, sorry that she’d let him goad her into saying that. She was supposed to be talking him out of putting in a bid, not encouraging him. She jogged out the front door, eager to get away from him and put her bid in before the owner had time to consider a second one. With Mr. Charm breathing down her neck, quite literally, she’d have to go somewhere else to crunch the numbers.

Praise for the Book
“I have to say this story was freaking awesome! I breezed through it in an afternoon.” ~ Evenstar
“I loved this sweet romance story. The characters were believable and there were some funny moments. I’ve also read (and loved) the first book in the series, but you could easily read this as a standalone.” ~ Jaz
“The book is funny and sweet, and I definitely found myself rooting for Shaun and Paige. Great weekend read.” ~ Kelly Garcia
“I really enjoyed the interactions between these two more than many other books I've read. I like humor and people.that feel real, and this story gives us both. Definitely recommend. Clean romance, worth reading.” ~ atvtnv-mom of many
