Tender Touch

Rate this book
Lindsey Connaught is perfectly content working in her father’s small landscaping business—until she crosses paths with Caleb Rennington, the infuriatingly arrogant man who claims she nearly drowned him in his own swimming pool. For the record, she didn’t. At least… not on purpose.

Any hope of never seeing him again vanishes when her father takes on a lucrative restoring the overgrown gardens of an old manor house—Caleb’s manor house.

Forced to deal with him daily, Lindsey quickly discovers he’s just as insufferable as she remembered, especially when he hovers over her work with endless criticism. Their clashes escalate until she somehow ends up accused of espionage, locked in his bedroom, and branded a corporate spy—all because she planted a handful of forgotten seed pods.

Between arguments, escapes, and a few too many plunges into the pool, their tension simmers to a breaking point. When Caleb drags Lindsey against his dripping body after yet another poolside disaster, the line between fighting and kissing blurs—and passion finally wins.

But love is never that simple. As obstacles test their fragile truce, both Caleb and Lindsey must decide whether pride will tear them apart—or whether they’ll let their fiery chemistry turn into something real.
