Publisher's Synopsis
"To Juliet he was oxygen, she breathed him like air, and in his absence she could feel herself slowly suffocating to death."
Juliet Poole's orderly life in NYC is thrown into disarray right when everything is in its place. Her life was following a plan: great job, perfect friends, night school in architecture, and a pug whimsically named The Hooligan. With graduation from her architecture program looming, she secretly applies to work at a firm in California, debating a move away from the East Coast, but unable to tell her friends this may be her last year in the city. The clock starts ticking down to her departure, and one drunken night out helps her realize that she doesn't want to miss any opportunities this year, so she makes a promise to herself: enter the NYC dating pool, one last time. Andy Madeleine is older, urbane, and incomprehensibly handsome, with the unrealistically symmetric features and blond hair reminiscent of a young Brad Pitt. Juliet never expected to be pursued by a client at work, let alone one as irritating and wealthy and attractive as Andy Madeleine. Their personalities instantly clash, and she has no intention of letting herself be seduced by his filthy mouth and megawatt charm, or even his odd interest in old poetry. While she argues with Andy about his deliverable and tries to ignore the inevitable attraction that springs up between them, Juliet pursues Kilolani, an artist that has asked Juliet to model for his upcoming show, and Ned, the preppy and sophisticated son of her boss. There's no place in her 5-year plan for an older man with a life built around NYC, no matter how sexy and funny he is, or how determined he seems to be to catch Juliet's eye.The career she's worked so hard to have across the country isn't something she'll sacrifice for chemistry alone. Perfect for fans of Mariana Zapata, Elena Armas, and Ali Hazelwood! Author's Note: Opposites attract in this steamy standalone enemies-to-lovers workplace romance. Feminism, humor, dirty-talk, and gratuitous animal lovers abound. Bonus romantic tid-bits include a mysterious connection between a brother and a best friend, quirky dialogue, romantic poetry readings, and a happily ever after.
