Perfectly Polished

Perfectly Polished by Lynne Hancock PearsonHe made good on his promise to call. She refused to answer. Facing an embarrassing divorce and fighting against her controlling mother, Fiona doesn't have time for the broody ex-con, despite toe-curling kisses that still star in her dreams. Surprise doesn't begin to describe her reaction when he appears in her company's boardroom months later. And ignores her.Tomas tells himself he's no longer interested in the tightly wound executive. But he can't stop wondering if she's all right. Can't stop wanting to pick up the pieces. Can't stop thinking about how perfect she felt in his arms. Defying her mother, Fiona gives Tomas a chance, and they connect over their shared dream of building affordable housing. The community rallies around them, but not everyone is on board, and roadblocks are thrown up to challenge their plan and their relationship. Can they build something solid despite threats to their foundation? Is permanent even possible when family differences turn ugly? Perfectly Polished is a small-town, opposites-attract romance between a burly builder who grunts more than he speaks and a polished professional who has never known love.
