About the book

Yes, throwing champagne over her lowlife boyfriend—and boss—had proved rather career limiting. She'd been fired! So, having sworn off men for good, Juliet has headed back to her mom's house to start again—only to bump into her childhood crush...Gregor McLeod.

Greg has been number one on Juliet's wish-list as a future husband-to-be since she was a little girl. And he's still gorgeous, sexy, charming and flirtatious. So what's to stop her? A) She's sworn off men, remember? (She's forgotten!) B) He's got a few secrets of his own....
