(2012)
(The second book in the Working Stiffs series)
A Novella by

Filling in for a vacationing salesman isn't Jeff McAdams' idea of weekend fun. But he's the architect of the development, so sitting in a model home and attempting to sell visitors on the ideas he's incorporated into his designs - it's something he doesn't really mind doing.
It gets a bit more challenging when his partner (and father) announces they've hired a new design team. Jeff takes it in stride, since he knows when it comes to the fancy stuff, he's no expert. Give him a ruler, a set of blueprints and an idea. Leave the soaps and toss pillows to someone else.
That someone else arrives late that afternoon. And when she walks upstairs she takes Jeff's breath away. It's Gabriella Rossini, the one girl he could never forget. Within seconds the heat between them flares and Jeff and Gaby soon realize that sometimes embers can simmer for years without dying.
And when rekindled, the ensuing flame could be hot enough to singe their eyebrows. Hmm. Something's burning in this Open House - and it's not the optional gas fireplace...
