Five minutes until the interview begins.

Fresh on the heels of her college graduation, Cameron Heart has landed an interview at a prestigious architecture firm.

Four minutes until the interview. 
She knows she’s only there because the owner, Grayson Cole, is her older sister’s friend.
Three minutes. 
For the last seven years, Grayson has been the most intimidating man Cammie has ever had the pleasure, or displeasure, of being around.
Two Minutes. 
But the job opportunity is too good to pass up. So, Cammie will have to ignore the fact that Grayson is handsome enough to have his own national holiday. 
One. 
After all, she shouldn’t feel that way about her new boss. And, he will be her new boss.

“I’m not scared of you,” I said with a confident smile.
“Perhaps we should fix that, Ms. Heart. Close the door.”








I  read The Duet by Grey and enjoyed.  I liked that sister Cammie got a book and picks up right where Duet left off.  

Cammie is celebrating graduating college with a Masters degree in Architecture but right before she goes to enjoy a fun night, Grayson Cole has a little chat with her.  Grayson is Brooklyn's friend and has known Cammie but things had gotten a little strange between the two lately.  Cammie has no idea why but to everyone else, it's not that hard to figure out.  She has had a crush on Grayson for so long but with him being older, he knew not to cross the line.  Now offering her an interview and opportunity, he wouldn't dare think to cross that line, or would he?

Grayson was a confusing character, but I loved that about him.  Just never knew if he was really into Cammie or not at times.  He is such a serious character but with Cammie, I would see the lovable, passionate, and caring side.  

Poor Cammie.  Having lost her parents at a young age and being raised by her older sister, has left her wanting to be independent.  She thinks she has to do it all on her own but eventually learns to surround herself with those who love her.  She is such a smart girl and is determined.  She's also stubborn but man it's funny. 

Grayson and Cammie has such great chemistry and sexual tension and leave you guessing will it work out or not.  This is one you will not want to miss!

I paused just outside of the front doors and took a deep breath, trying to get my bearings. I was twenty minutes early for my interview. My outfit was still wrinkle-free. My pad-folio was filled with extra copies of my resume and reference letters, and I’d rehearsed every possible question that Grayson Cole would ask:
Greatest weakness? My inability to settle for anything less than what I deserve. I’m stubborn and persistent.
The honest answer? My inability to overcome my schoolgirl crush on you even though you’re a self-righteous ass.
I would NOT be giving him the honest answer.
I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way, I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors include Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.
