Anticipation

Strangers wait in heated anticipation to explore their desires. Enemies seek reconciliation on their way to becoming lovers. Heartbreaks are healed in order to achieve sweet satisfaction. Old love finds redemption in order to become new, and patience is a virtue when proving one’s devotion. When eight individuals give in to their burning passions, they’ll find that love is a temptation they can’t resist. Abigail Jones has just landed her biggest renovation job yet: remodeling the penthouse of nationally-renowned cardiac surgeon Ryland Harlow. This project’s success could put her fledgling design company on the map and her name in the ears of Boston’s elite. When she meets her impressive new client, however, a job well done is no longer her top priority. Gorgeous, cold, and intriguing, Ryland captivates Abigail like no man ever has. He’s a walking temptation, and it’s clear he’s interested in her as well. However, he squashes her fantasies with one firm rule: As long as she works for him, he won’t touch her. Her motivation to finish the project is suddenly doubled, and as the two work together to recreate his home, it becomes more and more difficult to resist the burning attraction between them. A five-week countdown is all that stands between Abigail and the man of her dirty dreams… and the anticipation might just kill her.
