More about the book

Jude Holland has worked tirelessly at her commercial design firm, dreaming of designing the city's trendiest restaurants and nightclubs. After years of handling grunt work for incompetent lead designers, an opportunity arises when her boss offers her a chance to secure a coveted position. To earn it, she must design a stunning new restaurant for Theo Jordan, the firm's demanding client, and persuade him to renew his contract. Theo is known for being a hot-shot chef-turned-restaurateur, a challenging client, and undeniably attractive—qualities that initially annoy Jude as she focuses on her goal. However, a steamy business trip shifts their dynamic, igniting unexpected chemistry between them. While they attempt to maintain professionalism, they can't resist their growing attraction. With Jude's promotion and the restaurant launch at stake, Theo must convince her to embrace their connection fully. This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers workplace romance features a sunny designer and her grumpy client, packed with spice and a satisfying happily ever after. It is the first installment in the Sunset Landing series of standalone reads.
