Colburn Brothers | A Novel
"The perfect escape!" —Lucy Score, #1 New York Times bestselling author, for He Falls First
College rivals become workplace frenemies-turned-lovers in this warm, sexy contemporary romance from New York Times bestseller Jill Shalvis. Is it the exciting new renovation project or Caleb and Emma's feisty banter that fires them up more? The hardest part? Each of them has sworn off love.
Caleb Colburn needs this project to prove himself in his field, but he's also tasked with caring for the father he's hated all his life, who's had a stroke. His damaged leg is killing him but he refuses to admit it or slow down. But the hardest thing to accept is the way he's not only having to work with Emma Sumner, he's falling for her, the woman who once made his life a living hell.
As for Emma all she has to do is make sure her job goes from temp to permanent by handling this big project, making sure the history is respected and the property restored to its former glory. No easy task, one that is made all the more challenging by the Project Manager, Caleb Colburn — the one and only man who she'd ever let destroy her when in college he, the spoiled hockey star who wanted for nothing got the scholarship she'd desperately needed to stay in school. She's been living hand to mouth ever since, in a pattern of always scrambling, and despite their intense mutual attraction, Emma doesn't know if she can ever forgive Caleb.
