Synopsis
Through a
fortunate series of events, Will Bradford’s winery hits the map in a huge way,
with demand far outpacing production. After months of chaos and unmanageable
growth he decides to bring in a specialist to help him get organized.
Queen of
organization Avalon Reece is a closet chaotic. She’s rebelled against a
childhood of wanderlust with a hippie mother by striving to maintain order in
her life. Everything has a place and she means to see it there. For her, love
is messy and she avoids it at all costs. Until she accept a consulting job with
Will to put his life in order.
Will sees beyond the straightlaced, orderly woman to the free-spirit Avalon tries hard to hide. That’s the woman he wants, in spite of how it might impact his business.

Excerpt
“Why
would I want to take my laptop home with me?” He gave her a sideways glance,
like he was afraid of how she’d respond. With his head cocked slightly, a shock
of his dark hair flopped into his eyes. The sunlight streamed from straight
overhead, and his long, thick lashes cast shadows on his tanned cheeks.
Gorgeous
didn’t begin to describe him. Avalon licked her lips. “In case you want to
watch porn?” She slapped a hand over her mouth as warmth rushed into her
cheeks. Please let an
earthquake strike right this minute and open a fissure wide enough to swallow
me.
Will
laughed. “I have a big screen TV in my bedroom. Why in the world would I use a
tiny laptop to watch porn?”
“Oh,
God. I’m so sorry. That was highly unprofessional of me. I don’t know what got
into me. You probably don’t even watch . . .” She wasn’t going to say porn
again. Her palms started sweating and she rubbed her hands on her jeans.
Will
tracked her movement, then met her gaze. Heat and hunger vied for dominance in
his eyes. “I do, but I probably shouldn’t admit it. You’re very cute when you blush.
I think I’ll try to get you to do it more often.”
“Will,
please. I’m trying to be professional. I know I didn’t make the best impression
there, but I’m trying. Besides, there’s Penny.”
“Hold
up!” He stopped as she took a couple more steps. When she looked back, his arms
were crossed over his chest, the muscles of his biceps straining his plaid
shirt. “What do you mean, ‘there’s Penny?’”
“She’s
your girlfriend. I’d never—”
“Penny
isn’t my girlfriend.”
“But .
. . she’s gone out of her way to mention on a couple of occasions that you’ve
been in a relationship for quite a while.”
“No.
Penny has never been, nor will never be, my girlfriend.” His lips pressed
together tightly and a muscle ticked in his jaw before he muttered, “I told
Drake I’d regret letting Penny redecorate the place.”
Hope
floated in her chest, but she stuck the sharp point of reality in it, deflating
it like a burst balloon. He was still a client. “Oh, my mistake. She just led
me to believe you two were an item.”
“She’s
not my type at all. Too . . . artsy. Believe it or not, the girl doesn’t have
nearly enough structure in her life to be appealing to me.” Will grasped her
wrist and towed her along.
“So you
like a woman who believes in order.”
“Didn’t
say that necessarily. I don’t mind a bit of chaos amid my order.”

Meet
the Author
Gemma's favorite
desk accessories for many years were a circular wooden token, better known as a
'round tuit,' and a slip of paper from a fortune cookie proclaiming her a lover
of words; some day she'd write a book. All it took was a transfer to the United
Kingdom, the lovely English springtime, and a huge dose of homesickness to
write her first novel. Once it was completed and sent off with a kiss, even the
rejections addressed to 'Dear Author' were gratifying.
After returning
to America, she spent a number of years as a copywriter, dedicating her skills
to making insurance and the agents who sell them sound sexy. Eventually, her
full-time job as a writer interfered with her desire to be a writer full-time
and she left the world of financial products behind to pursue a vocation as a
romance author.
