Workaholic Ryan OβFallon has made his name as an architect in a top San Diego firm in more ways than one. On the job, heβs the go-to guy who can face down the toughest client without flinching. Off the job, heβs got a rep for playing the field. The company lunchroom odds give his average relationship a whopping ten weeks and two days. And nobody knows better than Effie Wilson, Ryanβs coworker and competitor. After all, sheβs won the last two pools on his lack-of-love life and has the Gucci shoes to prove it. Ryan may be Mr. Calm and Cool in the boardroom, but when Effieβs around, he starts to sweat.
As if things werenβt tense enough, Ryanβs dad needs him at home just as Ryanβs biggest project is taking off. Thereβs no way Ryan wonβt help out his dad, but heβs not about to let Effie stay and take all the credit. The only thing to do is to bring her with him to Tennessee so they can work together. Now, back in OβFallonβs Landing, with its slow, easy days and long, steamy nights, Effieβs letting her hair down big time, going from a buttoned-up businesswoman into a full-fledged, no-holds-barred force of natureβ¦the kind thatβs turning Ryanβs world upside down and putting anything but business on his mindβ¦
