Opposites don’t always attract, but in this case, they must work together for thirty days, or neither Ada’s nor John’s dreams will ever come true.Architect of My DreamsEugenia, Dowager Duchess of Tindale, travels to the Brighton shore for a respite from London’s din and crowding.

Adam is traveling on business—he’s always on business—though he’s also pleased to bump into the duchess who has the loveliest smile he’s ever seen.Genie has no intention of ever remarrying—once was bad enough—and Adam would never allow a romantic frolic to interfere with his busy schedule, but then he learns that Genie’s kisses are as sweet as her smiles, and all of his fixed notions about what the future might hold go flying out the nearest bedroom window.
