Book Description

Heiress Lori Granger looks like a million bucks--and is famous for giving much of her fabulous fortune away. But her generosity has outstripped her checkbook, and not even her glamorous image and come-hither eyes can save her now. Certainly not with Jackson James in the picture . . . Hired by her dad's estate to control her spending, this CPA with linebacker shoulders and gray flannel suits invades her space, insults her dog, and refuses to loosen his grip on her trust fund. Worse, he seems immune to her charms--unless she's close enough to kiss. Not a man to cross the line with a client, even when the attraction is hotter than a pair of Lori's highest sling-backs, Jackson agrees to help her find a husband to fulfill a condition of her father's will. Yet sharing her dreams with him makes Lori wonder: Could this infuriating Mr. Straight be the one to make them all come true?

Book Description

What person in their right mind goes into the Piggly Wiggly to get bread and milk and comes out engaged? It all started when the deal of a lifetime came knocking at my door. I never imagined that my shot at fame and fortune would come with such outrageous conditions. I've been dreaming of a music career ever since I was old enough to hold a guitar. I have no idea what to do. Oh, did I mention that things aren't so great with my boyfriend and manager? Alden thinks I'm a moron for even questioning the music label's demands. He's too starry eyed over the big, fat record deal to think about what might be best for me. Just when I think my life can't get any more complicated, I find myself in a freak snowstorm. Fate must be having a heyday with this one because who rescues me? The guy I love to hate-Beau Primrose! Yeah, the rough and tumble firefighter is as hunky as ever with his crooked grin and piercing blue eyes. I've got his number though. The player broke my heart in middle school, and I have no intention of letting him hurt me again. I can remain immune to his charm ... I think. Good Gollie, Miss Mollie, did I actually kiss him ... AGAIN? Love and laughter collide in this zany holiday romcom about an unlikely couple who just might be the perfect fit. If you like flirty heroines, swoon-worthy hunks, and a dash of dramatic angst, then you'll adore USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Youngblood's small-town romp.
