Cleaning Her House


Irene Vartanoff - 2018
    Yet her mom, always critical of her, is furious that Elinor is touching any part of the overflowing collection of random possessions. When county inspector Race Ericson threatens a court summons if the hoard isn’t massively reduced in a hurry, he pushes Elinor to choose: Surrender to her mother’s insistence that she do nothing, obey her bossy elder sister’s edict that she sort carefully through every single pile, or satisfy Race’s demand that she ruthlessly clear out the junk? Elinor has never been shy with attractive men. Satisfying Race would be a pleasure. But when family secrets come to light and surprises turn up on her doorstep, Elinor’s task gets even more complicated, forcing her to reevaluate her long-held beliefs about her family—and her life choices.

An overdressed, heavily made up, five-foot package of pure pain in the ass. KATE: I could say that I didn't trust men, but that's not entirely true. I didn't trust myself not to get involved with exactly the wrong kind of men. I moved to this town to get away from all that, and the last thing I needed right now was an ex-Navy SEAL jock like Max, getting in the way of my new life. Tall, muscly, and with a jumbo sized ego? No thank you. I made a promise to myself that I'd do better than that, and I didn't care how damn attractive or mysterious he was. I needed to get back on my feet, find a new job and lick my wounds. Then why was he all I could think about? And why did he have to move in right next door? ...
