Blurb

Forever starts with a strong foundation. That’s where meddling septuagenarians come in.

When Lucas Alessi and Olivia Dawson are thrown together to build a home for their client, both have reservations. Even though the opportunity is incredible, Olivia fears her self-taught skills won't hold up with the established, industry darling Alessi brothers. Meanwhile, Lucas resents having to include a designer in early stages of the project. Amid his attraction, he worries their client’s preference for Olivia could jeopardize his company’s involvement.

As they work together to execute their client's every desire, they begin to value what the other brings to the project. Weeks of tension bend their resolve until it breaks, but can they hold on to the foundation they've built or will their careers come crashing down?

Author

Shannon Saunders writes spicy, bingeable romantic comedies with characters that are navigating the complexities that life often serves us. Her books reflect what we all experience—laughter, heartbreak, and triumph. All topped with a heavy dollop of banter.

Shannon has been a romance reader since she was a little ten-year-old. Problematic? Maybe. The Tyler series circa early 90s really made an impact. Now she writes the same stories that shaped her.

If you are a fan of Lucy Score, Claire Kingsley, or Sloane St. James, you’ll love her compact stories that are perfect for a vacation read, a palette cleanser, or to drag you out of a reading rut.

She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two sons. When she's not wrangling small children, she's probably in her garden. Possibly gardening, possibly making someone else look at everything while she says "Look!" repeatedly.
