Once Upon a Bride: A Novella

From the USA Today bestselling "master of witty banter" (Entertainment Weekly) comes this steamy and entertaining story of unexpected romance between two people who seem to be exact opposites of each other. Jay Smith likes to be in control. His every choice, every move, is made with his carefully planned future in mind. Sure, some people think that's boring. But Jay knows who he is, and he makes no apologies for it.
So when the lobby in his accounting firm needs a makeover, Jay takes charge-and quickly determines he needs a designer. What he does not need is a spirited woman who shakes up his very orderly life. Elise Maxwell needs this job. After cutting off her overbearing, old-money family, she's determined to establish a successful design business-all on her own. Independent for the first time in her life, Elise isn't looking for a boyfriend.
Not even someone as irresistible and fun to tease as her straitlaced client Jay .
