Getting established in the south of England as an interior decorator, even one with a unique specialty, wasn’t going to be easy.

Particularly when one of the clients was architect Jake Samuels, a wealthy widower with a troubled young son. Jake’s abrasiveness, his downright dictatorialness, were enough to raise the hackles on anyone’s neck, never mind those of a hot-tempered little Yorkshire miss such as Coralie.

She’d fled from one nasty experience, and wasn’t about to start her new life with another!
