Stiff Competition: A Graves Brothers Romance
Kim Linwood - 2018
Big ego. Huge… plans? Carter Graves is as smooth as the weave of his designer suit, and just as out of my price range. He sweeps into Wittville ready to wheel, deal and melt some panties, quickly topping my short list of men I love to hate and would hate to love. Before I know it, he’s got his sexy eyes set on me and his talented hands all over my business. My family’s business, of course. What were you thinking? The contract he waves in my face will turn my quiet little life upside down, but it’s his seductive smile that threatens to do the same to my heart. If he really thinks being the hottest guy in town is enough to make me roll over and let him turn us into just another faceless franchise, he’s got another think coming. I’m not signing unless he can convince me he wants more than just another notch on his resume. Or his bedpost. There’s just one problem with my strategy. The harder I make him work, the harder it will be to watch him go. Stiff is a full length stand-alone romance with no cheating and a resounding happily ever after.
