“This is a fun romp through the fashion
world in Australia. Steve Tanakis is a dark, brooding hero with a fragile heart
and a penchant for neutral colours. Georgie is a free spirit who surrounds
herself with bright hues and lots of laughter. Their love story is touching,
funny, and very moving. How Georgie wins her man and finds her dream job, and
how Steve conquers Georgie’s heart, is a fast-paced, beguiling story that kept
me turning pages until way after midnight.”—Review by Jennifer Macaire
“Aided
by Steve’s son and Georgie’s younger sister, this mismatched pair can’t help
but fall in love. A thoroughly enjoyable read filled with humor and
love.”
—Marie-Nicole Ryan
Opposites attract, it is a well-known fact. At times this leads to
insurmountable conflict, when at other times, sit back and watch the fireworks.
Steve Tanakis considers himself cool and calmly confident. Head of a fashion
business, he needs to be in control of his life and his business decisions. He
decides it is time to find a suitable mother for his son. Through with the pain
that comes along with passion, he now considers what he wants is an unemotional
wife, one who will fit well into his way of life.
Georgie McNamara, assistant
designer in his fashion house, is flamboyant, vivacious, and gregarious, the
antitheses to his idea of the perfect choice. The tiny whirlwind turns Steve's organized
lifestyle upside down, somehow worming her way into his, and his son’s life,
foiling all his plans to find that uncomplicated wife. Along the way Steve
comes to realize there is a lot more to this bundle of feminine trouble than he
first thought. Is she more trouble than he can handle?
And here's the snippet:
Georgie
closed the door and flopped down onto the side of the bed. Her feet were
killing her. High heels weren’t made for long walks. She’d worn the highest she
possessed in an effort to bring her more up to Steve’s size. Useless because
she still only reached his shoulders.
Could she
consider moving to London, even if the offer of a senior position in one of the
major production companies promised a mind-boggling salary?
She
rubbed her forehead wearily. Could she uproot and shift here, become a part of
the international scene? Her dream of a business of her own would reach
fruition so much sooner if she did. But how would Lucy react to being dragged
to the other side of the world? No doubt her treatment could be carried out
just as successfully here.
When Steve
came back, while she sat rubbing a foot, he muttered, “Why you wear those
stupid shoes I’ll never know.”
“Because
I like to look at people’s faces, not their belly buttons!”
He
chuckled. “You exaggerate, darling.” Georgie stared at him. “If you’re worried
about being able to meet me face to face, don’t bother. I like you just as you
are.”
“You do?”
“I do. I’d
prefer to know you felt comfortable, rather than have you walking around with a
pained expression on your face like now.”
“Thanks a
lot. I don’t know whether that was a compliment, an insult, or a word of
advice. So, how did you get on with the tickets?”
“We’re
booked on a direct flight at eight-o-clock in the morning, travelling first
class. That’s all I could get.”
Georgie
swallowed as he sat beside her and gently took the foot she’d been rubbing.
“Lay
back. I’ll give it a massage.” He proceeded to massage her toes, then the sole
of her foot. “Just relax.”
She obeyed
his tender order, sighing blissfully as he worked magic. “That’s heavenly.”
Closing her eyes, a lassitude filled her. Not only did he have the lips of a
god and a marvelous body, he had hands that could likely perform miracles.
